Published on by Life with Lisa Washington1 Comment

Super Bowl is tomorrow and I have to make something, yummy, easy and delicious! I don’t know about you, but for me the best thing about Super Bowl Sunday, is the food. My mind starts to race, what will I make this year? LOL :).

Bingo!!  Smash Potatoes!! Crazy, super simple as well. Bake some baby potatoes, use a potato masher, smash them and add your favorite toppings. Done and Done.

I hope you enjoy this recipe any time of the year.

SET THE TABLE WITH LOVE.

Smash Potatoes

Ingredients

24 ounces Dutch yellow baby potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup red bell peppers, diced

1/2 cup or more of your favorite cheese, shredded

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
In a large pot of boiling water, cook potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes; drain well.
Place potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a potato masher or fork, carefully smash the potatoes until flattened but still in one piece. Top with olive oil.
Place into oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven.  Using tongs, add the potatoes onto a nice heat proof serving platter. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Add the cheese, red bell peppers and parsley to each potato. DON’T GET ALL FANCY , IT’S SUPER BOWL AND THEY ARE SMASHED POTATOES! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Serve immediately.

 

 

 

Go Raw Raw Chick Pate bites

Published on by Life with Lisa WashingtonLeave a comment

I am in love with #GoRaw Organic Sprouted Watermelon Seeds. I have snacked on the bag of seeds, made a big salad with them, a smoothie and yesterday I made Vegan RAW Nut Free Basil Pesto. Here’s the thing, a lot of us can not eat nuts. I love nuts, but sometimes we do not always get along. It’s all good though, we good people. LOL.

Today I would like to share this amazing appetizer, but you can spread this on some bread and there you go, a high protein sandwich. You can also wrap it in some butter lettuce and enjoy a nice lettuce wrap. The deal is you will love the diversity of this recipe, but better than that, is the fact, it’s loaded with nutrition and plant based protein.

Remember to Set the Table with Love. Enjoy!

Directions ~

To make pate base, in a food processor add the base ingredients, Except the lemon juice and water. Add the lemon juice first, 2 tbsp at a time. Look at the consistency, it should be a thick creamy based, but not watery. If it is too watery. Add more Watermelon seeds to your food processor and blend well.

Scoop the pate base into a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. If the pate is too thick, add a bit of water and stir. Season to taste.
