Mimic Cream

A common challenge with the plant based diet is finding substitutes for cream.  With this stuff you can again make cream based sauces and gravies, thicken soups and stews, make cream based pies, etc. 

 MimicCreme Almond and Cashew Cream is USDA organic, soy free, dairy free, with no trans fats, no saturated fats.  Granted, it does have fat, so people on a very strict plant based diet, such as those with sever heart disease, should probably use this sparingly, if at all. 

Vegan Ranch Dressing

Tastes like the real thing!  So easy, and healthy for you too!   

1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk
    1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise (I use Vegenaise)
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    2-3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    1 tablespoon dried or fresh parsley, finely chopped
    salt and pepper, to taste

Mix it all up in a blender, food processor or just put all ingredients in a jar or bottle and shake.
