Sun-Mac Spread
Serves 4
I decided to feature this cheesy recipe on NBC’s South Florida TODAY SHOW to show how a dish that’s simple to prepare can also be very versatile. Place in a small bowl and it’s a dip for fresh vegetables; stuff it into poblano peppers or dollop it on top of raw crackers [...]

WHIPPED CASHEW CREAM
Makes 3 cups
This topping showcases cashew’s creamy, buttery texture. It’s quite rich, so a little goes a long way, especially if served with a high-fat dessert.

VEGGIE NUGGETS
Makes 60 nuggets or 10 patties or 20 corn dogs
The veggie nuggets travel well. These got the thumbs-up from kids in the shape of veggie nuggets, but for variety you can shape them into burgers or dogs. Texture will vary some as well, as the larger sizes will be more moist inside. The [...]

BANANATUDES
MAKES 64 CHEW CANDIES
These little chews have a whole lot of attitude. For a Tootsie Rollesque experience, add the optional cacao. For a party favor, try twisting them in strips of wax paper from a craft store.

LAYERED GREEN BANANA SMOOTHIE
MAKES 2 DRINKS
Layering smoothies takes a few seconds longer than mixing everything together, but the visual and taste effect of having two flavors in one serving is worth it.

4TH OF JULY GAZPACHO
MAKES 4 SERVINGS
This red (watermelon), white (cucumber), and blue (blackberries) version of the classic chilled tomato soup works well as a starter to get the palate moving.

STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM
MAKES 6-8 SERVINGS
Vegan ice creams have a bad rep. Here’s one that will have people asking, “Is there really no dairy in there?” The secret is the variety of raw fats used—almonds, young coconut meat, and coconut oil—as well as the copious fresh fruit. Serve Strawberry Ice Cream drizzled with Strawberry Sauce.

STRAWBERRY SAUCE
MAKES ABOUT 2¾ CUPS
Combining dates and just about any kind of fresh berries is an easy way to make a sweet sauce. The lemon juice preserves the color, balances the flavor, and gives it a bit of a shelf life. Strawberry Sauce is runny when first made and a nice topping for Strawberry Ice [...]

CURRY CORN SOUP
MAKES ABOUT 1 QUART
This soup is deceptively simple to make, luscious to eat, and sophisticated in its presentation.

MUSHROOM SPINACH LASAGNA
SERVES 4
My two favorite foods—mushrooms and spinach—are complimented by the rich Cashew Cheese. This one is a good bet for satisfying your friends who eat traditional cooked foods.
