Love cream cheese or sour cream, but don't eat dairy?  Oh do I have the recipe for you! This one was inspired by a recipe I found in a wonderful vegan cookbook that is no longer in our possession.  So it is from memory and likely modified over the years.  Add all ingredients and then food process till smooth.  The ingredients are as follows:

2 packages mori nu silken tofu
2 tablespoons Eden Umeboshi vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon or 1 clove garlic
1/4-1/2 teaspoon mustard powder.

No salt is needed, as umeboshi vinegar is a naturally fermented vinegar that has salt already in it.

That is all you need.  Now blend till smooth in a food processor and spread on your favorite bread or wrap.  Use in place of cream cheese or sour cream.  I  adore this recipe and so do my children!  It stores well in a covered glass container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

So now, as you are putting away the cream cheese, licking your fingers because it is just that good, you go to the sink to wash your hands.  As you reach for the soap and lather up, think about it, this is going down the drain, into the sewers and ultimately  back out into our environment.  What is in it?  Do the ingredients sound like chemicals?  If so, the effect on the environment is probably not ideal.  Tomorrow I am going to share with you my favorite natural soaps.  So until then, live consciously and make the wisest choices in each moment, so that the generations to come will have an abundant healthy planet to enjoy!
