Vegan "Cheezy" Broccoli

This was soooooo delicious! OMG!  I want more!!  I just love being a vegan, so darn much! I am on Day 36 of eating the Crazy Sexy Diet Way!

There is absolutely NO dairy whatsoever in this recipe, but it sure tastes DARN GOOD!

This is the BEST Nutritional Yeast out there.  I even like to pop some popcorn in my hot air popper and add some olive oil and nutritional yeast to it.

Cheezy Broccoli

Steam your broccoli and set aside.

For the "Cheezy" Sauce:

1 Sweet Potato cooked and mashed. (removed the skin)
1 1/2 cups of water
1/4 cup of Kale Nutritional Yeast
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 Teaspoon Salt

Directions:
Combine the above ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth & creamy and pour over your broccoli.

 

I ate that whole plate and I might just go have some more!!!

Enjoy!!! Leave me a comment below and let me know how much you loved it!

Black Bean and Roasted Sweet Potato Burger

Crazy Sexy Kitchen By Kris Carr with Chef Chad Sarno

These burgers can be eaten on a bun or I love them most on an Organic Lettuce Leaf. 

To see more from Kris Carr, check out kriscarr.com!

Ingredients

1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into small 1-inch chunks
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for sautéing
pinch of salt
½ cup finely diced onion
16 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup cooked brown rice
2 clove garlic, minced
½ Tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder (optional)
½ tsp salt
3 Tbsp tamari sauce
2 tsp vegan Worcestershire sauce (optional)
⅛ cup cornmeal
4 whole-grain bun, toasted or Lettuce Leaf
1 tomato, sliced (optional)
1 onion, sliced (optional)
lettuce (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Place the potato, 1 tablespoon canola oil, and salt in a bowl and mix well. Spray a small baking pan with oil, and spread the sweet potato out in an even layer. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently.
3. Warm a small sauté pan and add remaining tablespoon of oil and the onion. Sauté until the onion is browned, about 5 minutes.
4. Pulse the next 9 ingredients together with the roasted sweet potato and onion in a food processor or stand mixer, being careful not to overmix. Taste for seasoning, then cool in the fridge. Remove after chilled and form six 6-ounce patties.
5. Warm a cast-iron skillet or other heavy pan. Spray pan with canola or olive oil and spray the burgers lightly. Brown both sides.
6. Serve on toasted buns and top with your favorite veggies.

 I am going to put mine on a Romaine Lettuce Leaf and maybe pair it with some steamed broccoli or cucumber salad!  Something easy....I know that much....I like QUICK and EASY MEALS!
