<br />
I did tweak the amounts because I made it twice and the second time I wanted more kale and more parmesan but this is a great dinner recipe for sure. It easily made 4 servings (depending upon if you want smaller portions - I got three dinner portions out of it but with another dish it could be divided into four smaller ones)<br />

1. Preheat oven to 400F and lightly grease a casserole dish with oil.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
2. Peel the squash. Thinly slice off the bottom and top and then slice through the middle lengthwise to make two halves. Remove seeds & guts with a grapefruit spoon or ice cream scoop. Chop two halves into 1-inch chunks and place into casserole dish. (<span style="color: blue;">I bought squash already cut and used two containers that equaled about the same amount as the recipe calls for)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
3. Add minced garlic, parsley, oil, and salt into casserole dish and stir until well combined with the squash. Do not add the kale yet.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
4. Cover casserole dish with a lid (or tin foil with a few holes poked) and bake at 400F for about 45 minutes.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
5. Meanwhile, process the parmesan ingredients together until chunky (or just chop by hand and mix in a bowl). Make sure to leave lots of nut pieces for texture. I used a mini processor and it worked great with minimal clean up.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
6. After about 45 mins (or when squash is just fork tender), remove from the oven and reduce heat to 350F. Stir in the chopped kale and sprinkle the parmesan all over the squash. Bake for another 5-8 minutes, until the nuts are lightly toasted. Watch closely so you don’t burn them. Remove & serve!</div>

Here's one that is great in-between meals or for breakfast on the go.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6CG5hsnXLck/VBjS8eUZOBI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/9tj6-38y3ec/s1600/hemp%2Bmilk.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6CG5hsnXLck/VBjS8eUZOBI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/9tj6-38y3ec/s1600/hemp%2Bmilk.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>Makes one serving</i></div>
<span style="color: blue;"><u><b>Ingredients:</b></u></span><br />
2 cups filters<br />
4 tablespoons hemp seeds<br />
2-3 dates (depending upon preference) <span style="color: blue;">**</span><br />
1 1/2 teaspoons organic vanilla bean powder<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">**</span>I sometimes soak the dates in hot water before making. They tend to blend a bit easier with less residue but I do not mind the little pieces at the bottom. If you do, then use a strainer when pouring into glass or container.<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b><u>Procedure:</u></b></span><br />
Place all ingredients in blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes.<br />
<br />
This is best when it is cold so you will want to refridgerate before drinking or use very cold water when making this. I usually just make it ahead of time and then it is cold when I want it. I will keep for 3-4 day maybe longer in the fridge.feldspar2938http://www.blogger.com/profile/16143340068275398734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7801816204443543787.post-13974980894225264182014-09-16T17:11:00.000-07:002014-09-16T17:11:00.108-07:00Gluten Free Vegan PizzaSo, I had a craving for pizza and my favorite place here closed so...I was left to figure out how to make my own. And I did!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B7l1gaDvDRY/VBi7iCQTVBI/AAAAAAAAAEE/udVeI9XRPF8/s1600/photo%5B7%5D%2Bcopy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B7l1gaDvDRY/VBi7iCQTVBI/AAAAAAAAAEE/udVeI9XRPF8/s1600/photo%5B7%5D%2Bcopy.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
There are two variations here. Well, actually three.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><u>Ingredients - The shortcut routes 1 & 2</u></b></span><br />
Polenta - premade seasoned with basil and garlic (it comes in a roll)<br />
tomato sauce or pizza sauce (I used seasoned tomato sauce - a pesto would work too I think)<br />
Daiya mozzerella style cheese<br />
about 1 teaspoon of mixed of herbs (oregano, basil, garlic powder - you can decide)<br />
*if not going vegan, then you can use regular cheese and any meat toppings you want (pepperoni)<br />
assorted topping: sundried tomato, artichoke hearts, broccoli, (anything you want really)<br />
<br />
***If doing the longer version different ingredients are required. Scroll down.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>Procedure 1: (short cut route)</b></span><br />
Cut about 1/3 of the roll of the polenta<br />
mash in a bowl with a spoon or fork<br />
add in about 1/3 cup of the cheese<br />
mix well and microwave for about 1 minute<br />
stir well until everything is sticking (gooey almost)<br />
place the polenta on parchment papaer lined baking sheet in little round blobs<br />
add sauce<br />
add cheese<br />
add toppings<br />
bake for like 30-40 minutes depending on oven at 400 degrees until the edges are browned on the polenta and the cheese is fully melted.<br />
serve immediately<br />
<br />
<b style="color: red;">Procedure 2: (short cut route)</b><br />
slice the polenta round into thin but not too thin slices (maybe about 1/8 of an inch)<br />
put sauce on top<br />
put cheese on top<br />
put toppings on<br />
bake on parchment lined cookie sheet at 400 degree for about 30 minutes (until browned edges)<br />
serve immediately<br />
<br />
<b><u>Procedure 3: (longer version) </u></b><br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><u>Ingredients </u></b></span><br />
2 cups polenta (cornmeal)<br />
2 qts water<br />
1 cup of cheese (parm, mozzerella, or vegan version)<br />
pinch of salt (about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon - kosher or seasalt)<br />
black pepper (about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon - depending upon your preference)<br />
tomato sauce or pizza sauce (I used seasoned tomato sauce - a pesto would work too I think)<br />
toppings - olives, black beans, tomato (theses are just some options - plenty of others)<br />
<br />
<b style="color: red;">Procedure 3: (longer version)</b><br />
Bring the water to a boil. Wisk and slowly add cornmeal.<br />
Using wooden spoon, reduce heat and stir constantly (about 4 minutes)<br />
Stir in cheese, salt and pepper<br />
Immediately spread polenta on parchment lined cookie sheet or use muffin top pan<br />
Add sauce<br />
Add cheese<br />
Add toppings<br />
Bake in 400 degree oven for about 30 or so minutes until the edges are browned. You should be able to put spatula under and remove without it being too soft.<br />
Serve immediately.<br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5 cups filtered water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 tbsp + 2 tsp Organic minced Ginger </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 tbsp + 2tsp lemon juice</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a great, refreshing drink and I love ginger, lemon, and lime. I tend to go heavy on the ginger, so if you are not as big a fan, I would recommend that you begin with just 1 tbsp of ginger and see how you like it.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k7IgH1cL1V0/VBPCdJ_McZI/AAAAAAAAACQ/PWgoGUeyRmU/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k7IgH1cL1V0/VBPCdJ_McZI/AAAAAAAAACQ/PWgoGUeyRmU/s1600/photo.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
Ingredients:<br />
2 tbsp Acai powder or a frozen smoothie packet (can buy at WF or health food store)<br />
1 frozen banana<br />
About 2/3 to 1 cup of non dairy milk (I use unsweetened coconut or almond milk) this will vary depending upon how thick you want it<br />
1 serving of hemp protein powder of choice<br />
<br />
Toppings: granola, coconut, nut butter of choice, fruit (banana, blueberries--the possibilities are endless)<br />
<br />
In a blender combine all ingredients until you have a thick smoothie like liquid.<br />
Pour into a bowl and add toppings of choice. I used unsweetened shredded coconut, some Purely Elizabeth granola (gluten free AND free of refined sugar), and raw almond butter. Banana is another great topping.feldspar2938http://www.blogger.com/profile/16143340068275398734noreply@blogger.com0
