African Peanut-Potato Stew

African Peanut-Potato Stew

Inspired by traditional African recipes, this delicious stew gets its richness from sweet potatoes and natural peanut butter. While the peanut butter contributes a lot of flavor, it also contributes a good bit of fat. To reduce the fat, you may choose to reduce the amount or leave it out entirely. If you follow the Eat to Live program, you may want to substitute a raw nut butter.

Pineapple Tapioca Pudding

Mix all ingredients in saucepan; let stand for 5 minutes. Bring to a good boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Cool 20 minutes and stir. Store in refrigerator.

Spring Rolls

These light, uncooked rolls are the perfect start to any Asian meal. They’re very easy to make, and you can vary the filling ingredients to suit your taste–and your creativity! Serve them with Peanut Sauce, as shown, or with Soy Orange Sauce.

Baked Tofu

I use this tofu recipe for adding to stir-fries, rolling up in sushi, and serving with gravy on Thanksgiving. It’s a great, easy all-around tofu recipe that even kids love (my daughter snacks on cubes of baked tofu).

Peanut Sauce

Mix all ingredients together well. Makes about 1 cup.

Soy Orange Sauce

Great on spring rolls!

Baba Ghanouj

This delicious Middle Eastern dip has transformed many eggplant-haters into eggplant-lovers.

Pumpkin Pie Wontons

These dessert wontons are a great way to serve pumpkin pie individually. Look for packaged wonton wrappers in Asian grocery stores. Be careful–many of them are not vegan.

Easy Bean and Vegetable Soup

This delicious soup is a nutritional powerhouse! And, it’s so tasty that I have no trouble getting my 8-year-old to eat her vegetables when they’re prepared this way.

Stewed Spiced Pears in Red Wine

This sweetly scented dessert is a light way to end a filling meal, and is also perfect for those who’d like to limit their intake of sugar.
