Happy New Year ~ Happy 2014

Wow, it’s been another crazy year and I’m so looking forward to a good 2014!  One of the things I want to do better this year is to keep up with my blog and to try new plant base recipes and post them here.

Today I will be making a pork tenderloin for my family and then I’ll make the sweet and sour cabbage and potatoes too to go with it which I will eat.  I will also make my own gravy.  I can’t mess with the good luck it’s supposed to bring for the coming year!  I will go to the grocery store and get some other yummy veggies to go with the meal.

But since I already posted that meal last year.  I will post one of my new favorites which I can’t believe I don’t make more often. I think it would be delicious with some added steamed broccoli!

Quicky Pasta Alfredo

Leftover pasta

Margarine

Flour

Coconut milk creamer

Nutritional yeast

Salt & Pepper

I just took some margarine in a saucepan (probably about 1 tablespoon) and then whisked in some flour (probably about a little less than a tablespoon) and slowly added some of the creamer.  Then I sprinkled in some nutritional yeast and salt and pepper to taste.  Fresh ground pepper is the best.  Then I added the cooked pasta and stirred until heated.  OMG – so good and so easy with leftover pasta! I will also be trying it with almond milk!

Today I bought this –

Yup, a pressure cooker.  I am loving the thought of making my own beans and cooking quicker.  So, there will definitely be some posts on my experiments with it too!  

Amazon Prime won't have it to me until Monday though.  The super quickie Christmas delivery is now over.  I still love the Prime anyway!  It's almost as quick as their drones coming out!  LOL  I think I ordered something and it was delivered in less than 24 hours!  I can just say wow!
