I made these for my kids while they were growing up, I learned this recipe from a Vegetarian Daycare I worked at!
Peanut Butter - creamy or crunchy
Powdered Milk
Honey or Agave
Optional Add Ins: Raisins, Nuts, Unsweetened Coconut Flakes, Carob Chips
I didn't use specific measurements, I mixed the peanut butter & honey to sweeten, added the powdered milk and rolled into balls. I often added raisins!

Sprouting Lentils
Sprouting Lentils
I love these in Spaghetti!
I dont cook them in the sauce, however, you can. I add mine at the end when I turn the sauce off or throw them on the noodles and then pour sauce over the top!
1 Qt Jar, a Sprouting Lid and 1/4 c Lentils!
If you dont own a sprouting lid you can use cheese cloth over the mouth of the jar and secure with a canning ring. I actually made a few inserts for the canning ring from plastic craft canvas grid used for making things like coasters, etc. (Walmart).
Rinse lentils.
Cover lentils with water for at least an hour. Drain.
Rinse twice a day. They wiill sprout within a couple of days.
Lentil sprouts are ready when sprouts are a quarter inch long, you can let them grow longer.
I lay my jar on its side on top the fridge.
For larger batches of sprouted lentils use a gallon jar with 1 cup lentils!

Veganaise!
I've had a known system issue for about 10 or 11 years, it's an egg allergy. Is there any way to express how much I love eggs? No, I think not. I love eggs! Love. I love everything egg related or made with eggs. I love potato salad with eggs in it, I love chef salad with eggs in it, I love tuna salad and chicken salad and egg salad! Most of all though, I love mayonnaise! I love mayo in or on everything. I could eat it on crackers, on toast, on cereal even! Just kidding.
I've had to omit nearly all my egg habits. The toughest has been the mayo. Well tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I had tuna salad on crackers! There were no egg bits mixed in but there was mayonnaise! There was kind of mayonnaise, I mean. It's called Veganaise! It tastes more like a Miracle Whip (which I eat only as a last resort) but it's better than nothing at all. To tell you the truth it was down right delicious! I am so excited to have it in my life!
