Thank you meettheshannons.com

I have been trying a lot of recipes from meettheshannons recently and LOVE them. Here are some of my experiments... 1. I have some Tofurky Italian Sausage and used their pasta recipe to make this DELICIOUS dish. http://www.meettheshannons.net/2011/08/pasta-in-fresh-basil-green-sauce.html The main thing that I changed was I did not have avocados, so used 1 cup peas instead of 1/4 and scratched the avocados. I was also very liberal with kale and spinach.

THen I used their cherry cola BBQ recipe to make this summer dish: with some May Wah Veggie fake drumsticks, corn, and a quinoa pre-made salad from whole foods it was very summery. I will have to find more things to use the leftover BBQ sauce for... http://www.meettheshannons.net/2011/06/betty-crocker-project-cherry-cola-bbq.html

Lastly, they use a lot of tater tots in their recipes, so this was my own recipe but modified from theirs. It was a tater tot salad since i had leftover tater tots. Basically there was a layer of spinach and romaine, then then tater tots, then some shredded fake beef fried up with some taco seasoning, some olives, tomatoes, avocados, and fake cheese. The dressy made this tasty but unhealthy dish even more fatty, I used this vegan ranch dressing recipe with some BBQ sauce added: http://kblog.lunchboxbunch.com/2009/04/vegan-ranch-dressing-and-dip.html
