My Mama made this for us when we were children. Quick and easy to make. It was also inexpensive. Great with a grilled cheese sandwich.

I thought it was strange when suggested by the waitress as a French fry dip, but tried it and loved it. Try it with any fried vegetables!
1/3 C Mayonnaise
3-5 finely minced cloves Garlic
1/8 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper (to taste)
Simply mix ingredients with a fork, and let stand a while for flavors to mingle. If found too strong, just add more mayo.

Are you ever looking for something that is light, healthy, and filling? This is a variation of a recipe i got from wai lana yoga. Wanted to add a little more spice to mine.
2 medium yams
1 Tbsp. butter
1/2 Tbsp. fresh thyme, chopped
2 Tbsp. fresh chives, chopped
1/4 tsp. salt, or to taste
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Grated cheese for topping mixed with chili garlic sauce
1. Wash the yams and prick with a fork. Place on a baking tray and bake at 400°F for 1 hour, or until soft when gently squeezed.
2. Cut in half lengthwise and carefully scoop the flesh out into a bowl, being careful not to break the skins. You may find it helpful to hold the yams in a cloth. Add the butter and mash well. Add the thyme, chives, salt, and pepper to taste and mix well.
3. Spoon the mixture back into the skins, piling up slightly in the center. Mix grated cheese and chili garlic sauce. Then top yams with this and return to the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the yams are heated through.

You can change this a little by adding garlic or ginger or both! another variation would be roasted tahini or just plain toasted sesame seeds. This is great on fried food, steamed veggies, spring rolls, pasta noodles, fried noodles, as a marinate, etc.
1 c tomato ketchup
1/2 Kikkoman soy sauce (low sodium)
1/4 c miso with 2 tsp water
1/2 c lemon juice
1/2 c balsamic vinegar
1/2 c honey
1/4 c sugar
sesame oil (just a few drops)
Mix all the ingredients together and simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes. Drop some sesame oil before serving.

You can save time by making a pot roast in a pressure cooker. It still tastes like you spent a long time cooking the pot roast.

These are tasty little appetizer pizzas that can’t be beat. These are so fresh tasting with chopped fresh tomatoes and fresh julienned basil.
1 flour tortilla (per pizza)
Land O’ Lakes™ Roasted Garlic Butter Spread
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
4 oz. drained roma tomatoes (approx. 2-3 tomatoes) diced 3/8″
2 tbsp. fresh basil cut in 1/8″ julienne strips
2 oz. lobster meat cut in 1/2″ – 3/4″ chunks
1/2 cup Italian six-cheese blend
Heat oven to 450 degrees.
Lightly brush entire topside of tortilla with garlic butter (edge to edge).
Sprinkle two tablespoons Parmesan cheese over the garlic butter.
After draining the diced tomatoes, sprinkle evenly over Parmesan cheese.
To julienne the basil, wash it and shake off excess water. Pick off leaves and stack on top of one another. Using a chef’s knife, cut into 1/8″ strips. Do not chop. Sprinkle evenly over the diced tomatoes.
Make sure lobster meat is cut into 1/2″ – 3/4″ chunks. Portion lobster meat, drain it and then sprinkle it evenly over the tomatoes.
Sprinkle the Italian six-cheese blend evenly over the diced tomatoes.
Refrigerate until ready to cook.
Brush a pizza pan lightly with vegetable oil and sprinkle lightly with ground black pepper and kosher salt.
When oven is ready, place pizza on pan and cook approximately four to five minutes.
Remove from pan and cut into eight wedges.
Squeeze fresh lemon over pizza for extra flavor and serve.
Additional Tips
Be sure you drain the tomatoes and the lobster meat before sprinkling them over the pizza shell. Otherwise your pizza will turn out soggy.
This recipe from wailana is one that my aunt made for us after coming out f the hospital, so it reminds me of hope, new health, and it tastes better than any restaurant!
4 cups potato, cut into small cubes
1 Tbsp. + 2 tsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. eggless mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 Tbsp. fresh parsley, finely minced
Black pepper to taste
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup carrot, diced
1/2 cup celery, sliced
2 cups cauliflower florets
1/2 cup green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
Savory Gravy:
3 Tbsp. garbanzo flour
2 Tbsp. potato starch
1 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
1/4 tsp. ground thyme
1/4 tsp. asafetida
1/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. eggless mayonnaise
1 1/2 Tbsp. Bragg liquid aminos
1 tsp. maple syrup or honey
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 1/2 cups water
1. Boil the potato until just tender. Drain and mash, then mix in 1 Tbsp. of the oil and the mayonnaise, salt, parsley, and pepper to taste. Set aside.
2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tsp. oil in a nonstick skillet and sauté the vegetables covered on medium heat until tender. Add a little water if needed to prevent sticking and cook until well dried up. Set aside.
3. For the gravy, combine the first 6 ingredients in a medium saucepan and toast on medium heat, stirring constantly, until light golden. Remove from the heat.
4. In a medium bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, aminos, maple syrup, lemon juice, and water. Return the toasted ingredients to the stove on medium heat and add the wet ingredients, whisking well to combine.
5. Cook until thickened to a gravy consistency, whisking constantly. (If the gravy comes out too lumpy, pour it into a blender and blend briefly, then reheat to thicken it.)
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the sautéed vegetables in an 8×8-inch oiled baking dish and pour the gravy over the top. Carefully cover with the mashed potato, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 20 minutes until heated through.
