I have been drinking this every night due to the cold weather it is yummy!

Mayan Hot Cocoa

Serves: 1

Difficulty: Easy

Prep: 2 min

Cook time: 5 minutes

Sometimes hot cocoa needs a little something extra. If you’d like to spice up your winter hot drink, try this spicy treat!

1 cup vanilla soy milk, sweetened

1 tbs cocoa

1 tsp sugar

½ tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp chili

Heat the soy milk to the desired temperature, either on the stove or in the microwave. Combine the dry ingredients, cocoa, sugar, cinnamon and chili and mix well. Slowly add the hot soy beverage to the powdered mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Enjoy!

Notes:

Unsweetened baker’s chocolate can be substituted for the cocoa. Just melt it in the soy milk while it is heating, either in the microwave or on the stove.

The richness can be adjusted with more or less cocoa.

If you use plain soy milk or regular milk for you non soy milk drinkers just add 1/4 tps. more sugar and you will be fine

Peanut-Butter Noodles

Serves: 4

Difficulty: Easy

Prep Time: 10-15 Minutes

Cook Time: 10 Minutes

This great-tasting dish is so easy and quick to make! It’s the total package!

1/2 cup vegetable broth

1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

3 tablespoons soy sauce

3 tablespoons peanut butter

1 1/2 tablespoons sweetener (agave nectar, sugar, etc…)

2 teaspoons hot chile paste (optional)

3 cloves garlic, minced

8 ounces noodles

Optional for presentation:

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1/4 cup chopped peanuts

Cook noodles according to directions. While the noodles are cooking, combine broth, ginger, soy sauce, peanut butter, sweetener, chili paste, and garlic in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until peanut butter melts and is heated through. Add noodles, and stir until coated. Garnish with green onions and peanuts.

Notes

Use any type of noodles you’d like: pasta, soba, bean thread, etc.

You can try a teaspoon or two (or to taste) of powdered ginger instead of fresh.

Add assorted sliced veggies for some extra nutrition. The smaller the dice, the faster they’ll cook.

Edamame or tofu would add a great source of protein!

Jamaican Spiced Black Bean Burgers

Serves: 6

Difficulty: Easy

Prep time: 8 minutes

Cook time: ~10 minutes

These burgers are so easy and taste so great, you’ll be making them for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 1/4 cups chopped onion

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 habanero pepper, chopped

1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon ground allspice

3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 1/4 cups cooked (or two 14.5 oz cans) black beans, rinsed and drained

2 1/4 cups cooked long-grain white rice

2 1/2 cups dry bread crumbs

6 hamburger buns, split

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic; cook and stir for a few minutes. Mix in the habanero pepper and continue cooking until tender. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl. Pour in the beans, rice and bread crumbs. Season with ginger, salt, allspice and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly using your hands. Form into 6 patties. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (you can use the same one). Fry the patties until golden on each side, about 10 minutes total. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Too spicy? Try a jalepeno or even a green pepper diced very small.

Substituting other types of rice would be nice. Try brown, jasmine, basmati, etc…

If you don’t have any fresh ginger, try using ground, but reduce the amount by half.
