This is a less expensive version of BSE, and the ingredients are probably a little more readily available. It doesnt have the “complexity” that miso paste gives, but it’s still yummy, and filled with really good-for-you ingredients.

How to get little girls to color-coordinate with their veggies!

I invented this sauce for a darling little girl who simply refused to eat her veggies.  The pink sauce changed everything!

This sauce makes kids ask for third helpings of veggies in my house! I call it “fancy” because the technique of “reduction” may seem a bit high-brow for a gal who so loves her crockpot, and there is a rather unusual ingredient involved (as opposed to something as “ordinary” as, say, goji berries, or hempseed). Make any amount you want, just keep the ratios about the same.

Kids love this. Adults love this. It’s good for you…what a combo! The chia seeds are what make it so powerful, full of fiber and omega-3, they also give the dressing a “richer” texture”

This sauce gets members of my family to eat steamed leafy greens, like kale! All the calcium in the tahini (sesame seed butter) and almond butter help make strong bones and teeth! And the hempseed, packed with Omega-3 is important for healthy brains.

I always make this at Thanksgiving, but now that cranberries are available frozen all year around, I also make it when I want a colorful side-dish. If you put lots of stevia in it, the kids will like it, and they’ll get the cranberry benefits!

This is a popular sauce in Argentina, where it accompanies grass-fed beef (Argentine cows don’t ever eat corn, as far as I know, and the Argentine’s think our corn-fed beef is just plain bad!) We like to put it on any sort of meat or vegetable, and it comes in handy for those last minute Dip Dip Dinners I like to serve.

This is my favorite salad dressing ever. It has been known to convert even the staunchest salad-haters, and whenever I take a BSE-dressed salad to a pot-luck, I get a zillion requests for the recipe! Check out our Mixed Salad with BSE recipe for salad suggestions.
