This is a great light dessert, for the holiday's I recently made it for a cooking party and the girls went crazy, I also made one for my husband and he practically ate the whole thing. His excuse was that it was "to healthy so I had to eat most of it".

4 egg substitutes
3/4 cup sugar (or Stevia)
1 Cup Almond Milk (vanilla, or regular)
dash of salt
Preheat the oven to 350 bake you pie crust for about 10 minutes and then remove from the oven to cool. While the pie is cooling, take all you ingredients and whisk it in a bowl. Pour the mixture into your cooled pie crust, and bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes. Make sure the inside is not watery before removing. If its good remove and let it sit for 10 minutes. Serve with yogurt of light Cool Whip.
Whipped Sweet Potatoes
1 box of potatoes, peeled and diced
2 TBSP Maple Syrup
1 cup Almond Milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
Preheat the oven to 350. In a large pot boil your sweet potatoes till soft. Drain the potatoes, and using a whipping tool, whip the potatoes till mashed, then start to add all your ingredients, till it is at the right consistency and taste you desire. Once it is to the consistency you like, top with a little more cinnamon and nutmeg and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes. Remove and serve.
Green Beans with Almonds
1 1/2 lb fresh green beans
2 TBSP Slivered Almonds
2 TBSP Brummel and Brown butter or Smart Balance Butter
or 2 TBSP Olive Oil
1 tsp lemon juice
Take your green beans and boil them in a water, until crisp and tender. Drain the beans and set aside. In a saute pan cook your almonds in butter or olive oil, stirring occasionally till brown. Remove from the heat, add your juice and pour over the beans. Toss all together and serve.
Whipped Cauliflower
3-4 (1lb)bags of frozen cauliflower
1/2 cup Italian Season Bread Crumbs
1 TBSP Parmesan Cheese
2 TBSP Olive Oil
1 TBSP Garlic Powder
Preheat oven to 350. Take your cauliflower and boil it in water. Once it is tender, take an emulsifier and mash it down till it is no longer lumpy. Start adding all of your ingredients, mashing together till it is smooth. You may need to add a bit more of everything to give it a little more flavor. Once it is whipped well and smooth, place it into a baking dish that is drizzles or sprayed with olive oil. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes till it is a little brown on the top. Remove and serve. SOOO good.
This has been in my family for years, except we added a little less garlic this time.
