OK, here’s the deal. One of my favorite cheat foods when I lived in Florida and worked for Walt Disney World was Bennigan’s Broccoli Bites. Thanks to my discovery of the amazing plant-based Cool Foods Vegi Bacon, I decided to recreate the decadent delights. In an attempt to keep them somewhat healthier, this version is not fried, however feel free to fry away.

You can use any kind of dipping sauce, just experiment with what you like. Or, simply buy a bottle of Follow Your Heart Reduced Fat Vegan Ranch Dressing.

I made these for dinner alongside dressed tomatoes but they are also great as an appetizer.

ENJOY!

One of the most delicious things about this nutloaf is that each ingredient presents an individual flavor. The outcome is an entree with a variety of starring sensations that also harmoniously meld together.

I have included, in the directions section, 2 different topping options for making the dish regular or gluten free.

ENJOY!

Pesto always seemed a bit too rich for me and it wasn’t until I started to experiment with developing recipes without using the cheese that I realized just how much better it would taste.

The fragrant basil is perfectly balanced with the olive oil plus, without the cheese you loose a lot of the fat.

You can double the basil pesto sauce recipe and keep the extra, stored in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to a week. It is also great on baked potatoes, rice or cauliflower rice!

ENJOY!
