of water or vegetable broth, 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari (optional), two
teaspoons honey or agave nectar (optional), two cloves garlic, minced and one
teaspoon fresh ginger root in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Add

such as quinoa, can be combined for a hearty meal perfect for the fall. Here
are four different recipes you can make with your favorite ingredients:
Spring Rolls: Raw
vegetables are dipped in rice vinegar and peanut sauce and rolled into rice
paper to form spring rolls. Fill each spring roll with any of your favorite
ingredients such as cheese, cucumber strips, carrot strips or mushrooms. Then
fry the spring rolls in either vegetable oil or coconut oil until crisp.
Quinoa Burrito
Bowls: Rice paper is wrapped around any of your favorite burrito fillings (be
creative!). You may want to add beans and brown rice on top of the wrap before
folding it over itself so that it holds its shape. You may also want to add
some of the same toppings you would typically add to a burrito (such as
lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese). Then, cook each burrito over medium heat in
either vegetable oil or coconut oil until heated through.

minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool in the broth for at least 15 minutes
