No soy or gluten and it's GMO free. And delicious! Follow Foods For Long Life on Facebook and Pinterest . Race to Replace the Meat Burger There seems to be a lot of upcoming competition in the field of vegan burgers that really look, feel, and taste like burgers. I had been patiently waiting to try the much anticipated Impossible Burger from Impossible Foods . But they are only served in restaurants and I discovered that they contain wheat and soy, two ingredients many people try to avoid. The Beyond Burger, on the other hand, is available in stores and is soy and gluten free. High in Plant-Based Protein If you love burgers but are trying to reduce or eliminate your beef intake, you'll be happy to discover the Beyond Burger from Beyond Meat. Beyond Meat has a mission. They want to create better way to feed the planet by replacing animal protein with plant protein. This tasty, meat-like burger is loaded with 20 grams of protein. The source is pea protein.  It's actually fo...

Enjoy this Italian-style potato salad in minutes. Follow Foods For Long Life on Facebook and Pinterest . Working my way through our Potato Harvest In my quest to use the 50+ pounds of potatoes that we harvested, I whipped up this potato salad yesterday using my Instant Pot. This is an Italian-style potato salad that my dad used to make for me using lemon and oil instead of mayonnaise. It also uses parsley from my garden and fresh garlic that I harvested a while back. New potatoes only take a few minutes to cook in the Instant Pot and don't need peeling, just a good scrub. I only use 1 1/4 pounds of potatoes in this recipe because it's best when served warm and fresh.                         *                         *                         *  Lemony Instant Pot Potato Salad Vegan, gluten and ...

Zucchini rollups for your next tapas party! Follow Foods For Long Life on Facebook and Pinterest . Great Appetizer or Tapas In our quest to use all of our garden zucchini, Doug and I created this delicious rollup. This combination uses Miyoko's Winter Truffle vegan "cheese" but you can use any of your favorites or, if you eat dairy, it would work well with a goat feta. Since Doug loves roasted red pepper, we included that in the rollup but I can envision a schmear of pesto or hummus or olive tapenade. Use your imagination and your favorite ingredients - the combinations are endless. But they all begin with this BBQ'd zucchini. Here's how to do it. First, make some basting sauce by mixing together the following: Basting sauce Ingredients: 1/4 cup veggie broth 1/4 extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Directions Use medium size zucchini (not giant ones) and slice vertically ...

Simple Beets Salad with Balsamic and Scallions. Follow Foods For Long Life on Facebook and Pinterest . Beets - Delicious but Messy I love beets. When dining out, I almost always order a beet salad if it's on the menu. But I don't often make them at home because they are a mess to handle. But this morning with a single rubber glove, my Instant Pot and a butter knife I made this easy beet salad wearing a white blouse! I don't suggest the white blouse, but here's what I did. Instant Pot Beets I started with small to medium sized beets - about 2 inches in diameter. I rinsed them in a colander. Holding them by the tails, I cut the tops to remove what was left of the stem. I tossed them into my Instant Pot with an inch of water. I pressed the Manual button and set for 20 minutes. They take a surprisingly long time to cook. (You may want to start with 10 to 15 minutes and test them and if they aren't cooked, set them for another 5 or 10 minutes.) Do a quick release and te...
