Here is a photo of when I had the stuff ready for the #1 directions. Just looking at this you can tell how much nutrition is in it! Look at all the colors!
Ok - for my family, I made an adjustment to this recipe. Since we are new to eating fresh herbs - I only used about 1 T. and unless it was something else in this recipe - it gave a little kick to the recipe - enough for my family. I think the next time I make this I will make it with the peanut butter and then I will chop some roasted peanuts and have them in a container so each person can use the amount that they would like. We really enjoyed the addition of the roasted p-nuts to our supper last night! Oh and by the way, just in case some of you are saying - oh no you can't eat nuts - you will gain weight - I have some good news! I had lost another pound this morning! When you are eating a plant based diet - you can have nuts - in moderation of course!
This sounds delicious!
