Introducing the "Marinade of the Gods" made with persimmons, also known as the "Fruit of the Gods". This Hot Pepper Persimmon Sauce is not just a sauce; it's a versatile companion for your culinary adventures. Whether you're marinating, saucing, or dipping, this sauce is ready to elevate your holiday dishes. As fall takes off, it brings out these beautiful persimmons, once known as the "Fruits of the Gods", due to their divine or godly scientific Latin name, Diospyros, which means "divine fruit" or "fruit of Zeus". These sweet and rich-flavored fruits are a perfect match for the heat from Calabrian peppers, creating a unique and tantalizing flavor combination.

Macadamia nuts are creamy and perfect for making sour cream. Trust me, this is better than the store-bought sour cream alternatives. Give it a try!

I have made numerous variations of Ranch Dip and Ranch Dressing, but this has to be my favorite! If you would like a dressing instead of a dip, try adding a little extra oat milk (or preferred plant-based milk).

Tip: Grocery Outlet, stay with the hemp seeds on sale!! (1.5 pounds $9.99 for) I was shocked by the number of you who have shown interest in my Hemp Ceasar Dressing. This is a recipe we often turn to when we're out of our favorite store-bought dressing. I've never really written it down; I'm always just going with my gut. But today, I've put together a recipe that tastes great and provides a nice dose of nutrients from the hemp seeds. In the video, I forgot to add the vegan Worcestershire sauce, and it is needed. It adds a nice savory base to the sauce. 

One of my favorite things to do is make sauces! We eat sauce on basically everything, but store bought sauces aren't great for you or for you wallet, most of the time. This sauce is full of flavor and pairs well with so many dishes. I paired this with my Pistachio Eggplant Crumbles and made a tostada. Then we used the leftovers on everything else we ate for like 2 days straight. Enjoy!
