YUM! Ever since I discovered almond butter recently, I have not had any peanut butter. And I used to have pb&j sandwiches every day. This sauce and dish sound/look great. And I agree with you on the raw broccoli issue.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17753640845806353841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-75853297683208651142007-06-16T12:20:00.000-07:002007-06-16T12:20:00.000-07:00Hi again!

Can't wait to try that one. <BR/>I also wanted to comment on your potato post. SPUDS ROCK! (I'm sure you'll know "Bud the spud from the bright red mud" HAHAHA!!) I'm more a fan of the drier potato, but they all have their place. People with low potassium levels are often told to eat bananas. No way! Eat potatoes. They have waaaay more potassium than a banana.Carrieā¢https://www.blogger.com/profile/03326682699231189746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-56826273076264841112007-06-16T07:24:00.000-07:002007-06-16T07:24:00.000-07:00Hi helena, I had been wanting to post for a day or...Hi helena, I had been wanting to post for a day or two earlier, but life got just too busy too fast!! I do believe tofu is very personal in that you need to find what cooking methods/sauces/marinades make it sing for your tastebuds. I used to saute it all the time to brown it, but now one of my favorite ways to eat it is in a baked sauce (Cashew-Ginger sauce, will be in the new book). But I know for hubby, he likes it marinated and seared (as with 'Tofu Tidbits' from TEV). He also loves the Marinated Tofu Sandwich filling from TEV, because the tofu is first crumbled/processed, then marinated and fried and so there are no big pieces of tofu, but lots of flavor. So, it's all about what texture of tofu you like, and if you like it with a sauce, or 'disguised'. Our first attempts with tofu years and years back were NOT good. Nasty in fact! But, after many experiments, we found many delish ways to prepare it. I'm glad you have too... stick with it!<BR/><BR/>Hey Judy, there's no limit here on how many times you say that. :) And I hope once it's in your hands, you enjoy it as much as you have anticipated it!!<BR/><BR/>Hi Sabrina, no I don't make my own. It's expensive here too, and so I try to stock up when our health food store runs occasional specials on the raw almond butter. Still, it's about 2-3 times the price of organic pnut butter. You can make your own, if you have a food processor. Use raw almonds and process, add a few teaspoons of oil (like organic canola or safflower - or almond oil!), until you have a nut butter consistency. If retaining the raw state of the almonds is important to you, be careful not to overprocess and 'heat' the almonds, since food processors can get hot with thick pureeing. Be sure to refrigerate the nut butter when done. Good luck! :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Laura, yeah, cover the raw broccoli in a yummy dip! Even that doesn't work well for me!! I know some folks love it raw (my mom for one), but for me, no thanks. Other raw veg I love, but not cabbage, broccoli, or cauliflower.

And if so, how? I ask because here in Denmark the price of almond butter is four times the price of peanut butter, so I can't really afford it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-54013433696477701252007-06-15T16:15:00.000-07:002007-06-15T16:15:00.000-07:00I too abhor raw broccoli and cauli, but I love the...I too abhor raw broccoli and cauli, but I love them cooked.

I recently had a tofu breakthrough-- it only took me a year and a half but I finally discovered why my tofu was not good: I had the heat too low! Now I finally understand and it's so much better! I can't wait to try your new sauce with my new understanding-- lime sounds delicious!hyphen_helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07288716994533212737noreply@blogger.com
