Cool Saying

When I was at Inches Away yesterday, I saw the coolest saying hanging up in there establishment.

If we defend and make excuses for our bad habits,

we have no intention in quitting them!!!!

That is so true for me. I have my worst time in the evening staying away from food. This really hit me, because I do make excuses why I do it. I hung this saying on my refrigerator. Hopefully it will help me to stop the excuses.

Hope everyone had a great time. Be interested in your feedback.

Melissa did invite us to come back again. This was her first time doing this and our first time going to Great Harvest Bread as a CHIP Alumni.

Didn't Mellisa do a nice job!!

Perfect Tofu Vegetable Dip

I made this layered salad for the CHIP Potluck. It was a huge hit. I put the dip on the bottom of the container. I then put chopped and drained tomatoes on top of the dip. Follower by chopped green onions, sliced black olives. I layered this three times ending up with the greens.

People have been asking me for dip recipes and basically never shared, because I didn't have one I really liked.

My daughter gave me this recipe and it is excellent.

Of course I made a few changes.

-

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg. soft Tofu


• 1 cup mayo of choice-I used Grapeseed Oil Veganaise.


• 2 teaspoon lemon juice

Blend tofu,mayo lemon juice in food processor or mix master.

To the above I added:

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder


• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder


• 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika


• 1 tespoonBraggs Sprinkles-24 herbs and spices seasoning, or seasoning of choice


• Cayenne pepper-optional or Sriracha Hot Sauce, to taste.


• A couple shakes-Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning Blend

Stir in, all added ingredients.

1. Refrigerate 1-2 hours.


2. If to thick add unflavored soymilk.


3. Serve with raw vegetables, or pita triangles.

This is really good. You can add almost any seasonings that you would like.

A friend just told me this makes a wonderful spread for on a sandwich.

Enjoy!!!
