Making "Mmm Sauce"

I wasn't sure if I should try this, but I saw some blogs raving about this "Mmm Sauce" from the Peas and Thank You blog.

However, I already had a lot of the ingredients lying around, so I figured I'd give it a go.


Any excuse to use the food processor is very welcome!

By the time this finishing whorling around, I couldn't help but dip a lentil chip in there for some sampling.  It was very tasty, though a little on the tangy side since I didn't have lemon juice and instead used lime.

When "The Ukrainian" ate it in the dinner pictured below, the first thing he said was, "Mmm."  I guess this validates the sauce's name!

On the same plate are some microwaved mixed veggies (so classy), red quinoa, and roasted tofu (at 425 degrees for about 35 min) that I marinated briefly in Frank's Red Hot (even classier).  Those tofu nuggets were actually VERY good with the sauce, not too spicy at all.

And yes, that's a huge block of (Costco) sliced cheese in the background.

And my first pumpkin ale.  I liked it!  We bought a 6-pack from World Market (since I'm in love with that store) for $6.99.  You can taste fall spices in there! 

Also love how this bottle looks alongside all the other Fall stuff that I put on "The Ukrainian"'s dining table... the table runner is a recent addition from TJMaxx (for cheap!).  So was the candy *gulp* but luckily, they are just for show, because I was not a fan of the taste.

As an added bonus, this sauce was used in other meals, including in this form:

  1. I have been curious about the mmmm sauce since I read Caitlin's blog and she raves about it. I might give it a try now.

  2. Your dinner is SO classy! Looks like mine does pretty much every evening. Microwaves are used far too often with my dinners...why put veggies on the stove and wait for them to defrost? That tofu actually looks really good!

  4. I too have seen this mmmm sauce everywhere and am yet to try it. But I have a problem...where do you get nutritional yeast? I buy all of my 'health' products at Fairway market and they don't carry it (I've asked). And what 'section' of the grocery store do you find this in? Help!?!

Original Post: 3/10/11 Sunday, March 20 2011, the day I will run LA Marathon for the 4th time (and embark on my 8th 26.2 journey overall), will also be very special because it will mark the 5th year since I did my FIRST training run with the intention of running a marathon.  (Check out that life-changing post HERE ). Yep, on March 20, 2006, I went to the track and ran my first 3.25 miles with the dreams of marathon glory (or even half-marathon glory). I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.  I was a sprint/tra...

Rebecca Michaels Performance Clothing (Giveaway)

UPDATE: 6/21/12 -- This giveaway is closed, and the winner is #43, Jacqueline!!  I will contact you, but if you miss it, please e-mail me! ------ I'd like to credit in advance "The Ukrainian" who helped me stage some photos for this post. =) Perhaps because I don't dress well when working out, I was offered the opportunity to try some fun pieces from the Rebecca Michaels summer collection. Since I complained about my issues with headbands staying on my head, I also got to try their Violet Love headbands.  "The Ukrainian" didn't hesitate in throwing one on, and I think he said he looks like Rambo in it. Anyway, I'll start with my experience with the headbands .  They are very soft and actually look SUPER cute on!  They also cover a large portion of the top of your head, so those little fly-aways don't come drooping down.  Or is that just me?  My hair is normally cut in layers, so I do experience this quite a bit. Unfortun...

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews  with me to keep me going on a hot day.  I got through those 15 miles  eating these, versus normal gels.  I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason.  Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes.  Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too!  Each pack is about 140 calories.  The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times.  This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during.
