Spaghetti

I've always disliked spagetti.  Probably because I was eating .99 sauce and .99 pasta.  I bought Mezzetta Napa Valley Bistro Marinara and Bionaturae Organic Fusilli.  Much better.  My daughter called it pizza and ate her entire plate.  The first time she has cleared her plate since birth. 




Brownies

1 1/3 C. Organic White Whole Wheat Flour
3/4 C. Cacao Powder
3/4 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 1/2 C. Nondairy Semisweet Chocolate Chips
1 1/2 C. Sugar (I used Florida Crystal's Natural Sugar)
3/4 C. Unsweetened Applesauce
2 Tbsp. Water
2 tsp. Ground Flaxseed
1/2 C. Water
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract

Preheat oven to 350.  Oil square baking pan.  Mix flour, cacao, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips and set aside.  Combine sugar, applesauce, and 2 Tbsp. Water and set aside.  Stir ground flaxseed and 1/2 C. water together and add to the sugar and applesauce mixture.  Add the vanilla to the wet ingredients as well.  Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix together.  Bake for 40 minutes and cool before cutting.

Veggie Wrap

I love to serve this with a cooked vegetable and potato chips.

Lavash Bread
Vegenaise
Zucchini, sliced
Roasted Red Pepper, quartered
6 oz. fresh Greens
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper

Brush sliced zucchini with olive oil and top with salt and pepper.  Cook in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 4 minutes per side.  Spread Vegenaise (I usually do 2 Tbsp. per wrap) on the Lavash bread, add 2 slices of roasted red pepper, 1/3 of the fried zucchini, and 2-3 oz. of the fresh greens.  Roll up and eat.

Serves 2-3.
