Dairy Free Cheese Sauce

DAIRY-FREE CHEESE SAUCE

Here is another variation on the theme of dairy-free cheese sauce. This time I used a tiny bit of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). Per serving, the amount of EVOO is negligible and it does improve the texture. The cap of the bottle equals 1 tsp or 1.7 fluid ounces. There are 9 calories per ounce of oil. So 1.7 ounces x 9 calories per ounce = 15 calories. The blender pitcher is 64 oz and was half full, so that is 32 oz.

Calories per ounce comes out to 0.5 calories. 

The serving size is 1/2 cup, which is 4 oz.

4 oz x 0.5 calories per oz = 2 calories per serving, which is negligible.

Dr. T. Colin Campbell, who wrote The China Study, recommends the daily total fat calories from any source, plant or animal, should be in the 10% to 15% range.

So a serving of something that only contains 2 calories from fat will not increase your risk for Cardiovascular Disease(CVD).

Spicy Zoodles or Stuffed Into Purple Cabbage #StuffedCabbageWFPBNO

I made some spicy zoodles, which tasted spicy and delicious, but didn't look so good. So at the suggestion of a new friend from Dr. Esselstyn's fb page, I turned them into purple cabbage rolls. The flavor is exactly the same but now it looks neater and comes in fun sized packages!!
