You won’t miss hot dogs at the next Barbecue. You can even bring these in a container to throw on your friends grill!

Thanks to our Green Star members Beverly & John for this awesome, “Tastes like a hot dog!” recipe as demonstrated here on BeGreenWithAmy YouTube.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted vegetable broth (store-bought, or homemade vegetable broth)
  • 1/2 cup tamari soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup liquid aminos
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/8 cup date paste
  • 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder 
  • 8 medium carrot (peeled, skinny ends trimmed, carrots cut the length of the buns)
  • 8 hot dog buns (whole wheat)
  • mustard
  • ketchup
  • onions
  • relish

Toss carrots in sauce then transfer all to the Instant Pot. For smaller carrots, turn the Instant Pot on manual for 4 minutes, then quick release. For larger/thicker carrots, cook on manual for 6 minutes and then quick release.

You can sear them on a grill pan or grill (optional).

Beverly likes to save her left over marinade in the refrigerator.

Dr. John McDougall Retirement Announcement

begreenwithamy

Dr. John McDougall has announced his retirement on his website. Here is his announcement. Although I do not follow all of his recommendations, I admire Dr. McDougall for dedicating over 50 years of his life to spreading the word about the benefits of adopting a whole food, plant based lifestyle.

Dr. John McDougall

Announcement of Retirement

 

I am announcing that I no longer will be seeing patients in a professional medical manner. After half a century of my life being dedicated to the medical care of people as their general physician, I am retiring.

I have moved on to working with more legislation, healthcare systems, and education projects.

My past and present work will be available (mostly without charge) through my website, www.drmcdougall.com.

As many of you know, Heather McDougall became CEO of the McDougall Program over 5 years ago. She leads a loyal and talented staff of professionals: Anthony Lim, MD, JD, Jeff Novick, MS, RD, LDN, Doug Lisle, PhD and Tiffany Hobson, Operations Manager.

The same principles of diet and food preparation are being used as in the past. The medical staff remains dedicated to helping you eliminate all unnecessary medications and avoid harmful procedures.

Mary and I will continue to oversee the entire business with Heather. Her dedication to the McDougall Program, as ours, will never waver. I will still make appearances in Santa Rosa at 3-day and 10-day Programs. As always, I will be checking daily on the work of my lifetime: The McDougall Program — Where people continue to regain their lost health and personal appearances.

Thank you for your continued support over the years.

John McDougall, MD

Mushrooms – Cooked Not Raw

begreenwithamy

mushroom_PNG3211My short blog for the day:

Mushrooms are important to eat daily. Please remember to cook them before eating. Raw mushrooms contain potentially carcinogenic agaratine.  Cooking greatly reduces this compound.
