I take of cauliflower has been analyzed in relationship to a variety of different disease risks. When consumed at least once per week, cauliflower has been associated with decreased risk of colorectal cancer and has been shown to be associated with a greater decrease of risk than broccoli (when consumed in a comparable amount). In terms of prostate cancer risk, cauliflower and broccoli have shown a similar ability to decrease risk. While we have not seen individual studies focused exclusively on the relationship between cauliflower and cardiovascular diseases, cauliflower has been included along with other cruciferous vegetables (most commonly broccoli and cabbage) in studies on cardiovascular diseases and has been repeatedly associated with decrease risk. Because of its ability to bind bile acids, intake of cooked cauliflower has also been linked to better regulation of blood cholesterol. In one study focusing on intake of broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts in middle-aged women, incidence of obesity was reduced when women in the study increased their servings over time by about 3 servings per day.

Omg I’m so excited!!!!! I’m testing out recipes that will hopefully feature at this years Thanksgiving Feast and I’m so psyched because this Vegan Mac & “Cheese” recipe is bomb and I can’t wait for you to give it a try! I did not use any imitation cheeses or weird ingredients. This recipe has all the cheesy flavor and texture of the real thing without the dairy and the guilt! If you’re a Classical Mac & Cheese type of person but are either trying out a more vegan lifestyle, or just trying to cut out dairy then you will LOVE this recipe!

Serves: About 12 pancakes depending size of scoop.
Serving Size: 2 Pancakes
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 tsp salt (I used sea salt)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups Unbleached Flour, sifted
2 Tbsp sugar (I use organic evaporated cane), coconut sugar or maple syrup
2 eggs, slightly whisked
2 cups 1.5% Milkfat buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
2 Tbsp butter, unsalted and melted
DIRECTIONS:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the salt, baking powder, baking soda, flour and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla. Drizzle in the butter as you continue to whisk.
Switch to a wooden spoon and make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet ingredients and stir until almost completely combined. Please remember, the more you stir pancakes the more flat and tough they will be so please mix until a few streaks of flour are remaining.
Heat a flat griddle pan to medium heat. Scoop ⅓ cup of batter and cook until bubbles begin to form, flip and cook until golden. Serve immediately with your favorite Grade A 100% Maple Syrup!
**You may also add organic blueberries to the dry mixture before adding the wet ingredients.

1 Cup Unsweetened Original Ripple Milk or any plant based milk

Heat a deep 12″ skillet on medium high heat. Add your butter, then add the onions and some salt to taste. Lower the heat to medium-low and sauté until softened, stirring occasionally. About 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, some more salt just to taste. Sauté another 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and store until all the moisture has been absorbed. Increase flame and whisk in the chicken stock. Bring to a boil then add your milk and keep stirring until it thickens. Season with pepper and serve over biscuits or mashed potatoes.
Yields: About 25 Meatballs (when using a 1-1/2 oz. scoop)
INGREDIENTS:
Meatballs:
1-1/2 lbs Ground Turkey
5 scallions (green onions), chopped finely
3 cloves garlic, grated or minced
3/4 cup Whole Wheat Pablo Bread Crumbs
1 egg
1-3/4 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp ground ginger or 1/2 tsp fresh ginger paste
3/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp finely ground pepper
Sauce:
1/4 cup +2 Tbsp Sweet Chili Sauce (I get mine from Trader Joe’s)
1/4 cup Low Sodium Organic Soy Sauce or coconut aminos
3 tsp Brown Rice Vinegar
1-1/2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
2 Tbsp Organic Ketchup
3 Tbsp Brown Sugar
2 tsp tapioca flour, corn starch or arrowroot powder
DIRECTIONS:
Heat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, combine the meatball ingredients with your hands until fully incorporated. If mixture is too glutinous, lightly coat your hands with some water and continue. Form your meatballs using a small cookie scoop (I use a 1-1/2 oz. scoop) or a measuring tablespoon.
Using a large baking sheet covered with parchment paper and greased lightly with cooking spray, bake the meatballs for 20 min.
In the meantime, using a large deep pan on medium low heat, whisk all the sauce ingredients together until thickens (about 2 min). Add meatballs and toss to coat. Sprinkle Sesame seeds and serve with some fluffy rice and steamed broccoli.
1 egg, beaten for egg wash (optional)…gives a nice sheen to the braid.
DIRECTIONS:
Place the dough on lightly floured surfaced and roll out dough to about 1/2″ thick. Spread the hazelnut butter in the center of the dough in a long rectangle (look at the image posted). Add the chocolate chips on top.
Make cuts along the edges of the dough. (Again, See graphic on post for more detail.) Make as many cuts along the sides as you want, just make sure to have the same amount on each side.
After cutting 6-8 strips of dough on the sides, you are ready to braid.
Fold the top and the bottom ends over the chocolate first, then cross the side strips over each other to make the braid.
Brush the braid with an egg wash you can make with one beaten egg and a splash of cool water.
Bake the pastry according to the package directions.
Remove the braid before it gets golden brown. I had to bake mine for about 30 min. Top with almonds and then place back into oven until golden brown.
Let it cool for about 10 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar (optional).
