Baked Potato Bowl

One of my favorite meals for lunch is a baked potato with veggies and topped with Cashew Sour Cream.  I like to batch cook the potatoes and the vegetables. Once I have done the batch cooking all I have to do is warm things up for future meals. It makes putting together a meal easy and fast.

Bake the potatoes at 400 degrees until the potatoes can be pierced by a fork with ease. The potatoes should give at a squeeze.

Note: Use whatever veggies you have on hand. I also like Creamed Spinach on potatoes too.

Layer potato, veggies and the Cashew Sour Cream.

Serve. Eat. Enjoy.

Note: What is nice about this meal is that it can be changed up easily by what you have on hand in your refrigerator or pantry.

Creamed Spinach and Tomato Penne

I made this penne dish using my new favorite sauce – Cashew Béchamel – Basic White Sauce. I had made some Creamed Spinach and decided to add it to penne and the medley of cherry tomatoes just looked so good I could not resist. I could eat the whole dish myself, but that would be selfish, so I will share.

Cook penne according to package directions in a large pot. Before draining save some of the pasta water  just in case to thin the sauce.

Drain penne and return it to the pot. Add the tomatoes and stir. Stir in creamed spinach and the Cashew Béchamel Sauce, until the penne is thoroughly coated. Garnish with the herbs.

Creamed Spinach

This is a wonderful, simple recipe, especially if you have the Cashew Béchamel – Basic White Sauce in your refrigerator. It is a wonderful way to use up some greens that you have on hand and do not want a salad. It works well with kale, spinach and many other kinds of greens. It is packed with flavor and nutrients.

In a large pan wilt the spinach over medium heat. Use vegetable stock as needed to wilt spinach. When the spinach is wilted add the Cashew Béchamel Sauce. Stir to coat the spinach leaves. Remove from heat.

Note: This can be served over brown rice or in a pasta dish. That is what I did it was amazing. I will share that with you in an upcoming post.
