Tortilla Bowl for Supper

We just got ourselves a set of those nifty TORTILLA PAN SETS and had to use them right away.

Press whole grain (no oil) flour tortilla into pan to create bowl and toast in oven at 400 for 5 mins.  Fill toasted bowl with heated fat free refried beans, black beans, corn,and brown rice. Mix greens, chopped onions & cilantro with salsa and lime juice.  Enjoy...bowl and all!

Whole Food Sweetner



Homemade DATE SYRUP Recipe

Soak dates in water over night.
Pit dates.
Add pitted dates to food processor with soaking water.

You can leave some in the fridge for immediate use in smoothies, baking, dressings, etc. Or, you can freeze in an ice cube tray for future use.

You can also make RAISIN SYRUP, APRICOT SYRUP, etc. by substituting these and other dried fruits in the above recipe.

Kids, teach yourself to cook!


With Apples, Bean Dip, and Carrot Cake (ABC), Anne and Freya Dinshah have created a fun and practical cookbook for kids. It comes complete with photos of bright-eyed, enthusiastic children making easy plant-based recipes.
This cookbook will have kids feeling like prize-winning chefs in no time, teaching them how to:
• Make healthy snacks and meals
• Safely use knives, stove, oven, and blender
• Learn easy cleanup techniques
• Earn certificates of accomplishment
• Have fun!

“Kids think of cooking as what parents do. This book can open an exciting new window. Cooking is a fun at-home activity. I really got into it!” - Emily (who explored ABC when she was 10 years old)
Apples, Bean Dip, and Carrot Cake makes a great holiday gift that keeps on giving!
