Last year, Dave and I went on a vegan diet for a few months. It was one of the best things we’ve ever done and I don’t regret it at all. We spent a lot of time weighing up the pros and cons of the vegan vs. keto diet and decided that the vegan diet would be good for our lifestyle. We both felt much, much better and lost weight. We are starting over with that diet except this time we’re eating chicken as I find it incredibly difficult to cook for a family without the use of poultry. So we can’t say we are vegan. More just eating healthy to keep these old bodies movin’!
We try to eat a lot of veggie and bean meals and have found a few that we truly LOVE.
Definitely our favorite and most frequently eaten meal is a “burrito bowl” with brown rice, black beans, corn, lettuce, tomato, avocado, green onions, a few tortilla chips, salsa and the thing that takes it from good to fantastic: Bitchin’ Sauce.
So what is Bitchin’ Sauce, you ask? Well, it is the most delicious, yummiest sauce ever. A local brother/sister team make it and sell it at farmers’ markets and a few grocery stores. According to them, Bitchin’ Sauce is a vegan, gluten-free, almond-based, savory sauce that is rich in nutrients and packed with flavor. It’s smooth and creamy consistency makes it perfect for dipping vegetables and chips, spreading on sandwiches or wraps, or smothering over your favorite savory foods. Bitchin’ and saucy. . . . Get it in ya! They make a few flavors and chipotle is definitely our favorite. The good news is that they ship so if you too want to have your salads revolutionized, you can order Bitchin’ Sauce. Free advertising over now. 🙂
I’m a huge fan of Cadia salsa and Have’a corn chips which are made in Laguna Beach.
I promise, this is GOOD. In fact, when Dave travels, he says he misses our “salad”.
We had this a couple times while in Colorado and I agree that it’s a delicious as well as a healthy meal. I preferred the milder “bitchin'” sauce. I don’t have the sauce but I’m planning to try the same salad with cashew cream instead. Won’t be the same but hopefully will be good. To make cashew cream you put raw cashews in the blender and cover with water. Blend until smooth. So simple; so good. I love it on baked potatoes and in soups. If it’s not as good on the salad as Lana’s sauce, I’ll order the sauce.
You know that I will have to try to find this stuff here in Abilene!!!!
This reminds me of a restaurant here called Cafe Yumm that has one of the best sauces I’ve ever tasted. It’s not hot spicy , but it has all these wonderful flavors in it. And I have no idea how many calories it has in it.
Their Yumm bowl consists of black beans, brown rice, olives, avacado, cheese, cilantro and Yumm sauce. SO good.
I found a website that has a recipie, http://www.tastebook.com/recipes/2639609-The-Original-Yumm-Bowl, but buying it is so much easier. You can order it at http://www.cafeyumm.com/shop.html
