Marie Rose Sauce (Seafood Sauce)

Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Wheat Free, Rice Free, Refined Sugar Free, Red Meat Free, Soya Free, Egg Free, Dairy Free, Lactose Free.

"It has slightly more of a tangy taste than the normal mayo and tomato paste/sauce version"

Ingredients:

120ml Hot Water

1/2 Tsp Mace 

1/2 Tsp Smoked Paprika

1/2 Tsp Paprika

2 Tsp Ground Flax Seeds or Ground Chia Seeds

3.5 oz Raw Cashew Nuts

1 Tbls Cyder Vinegar

1 Tbls Balsamic Vinegar

2 Tsp Agave Nectar

2 Tbls Fresh Lemon Juice

2 Tsp Dill Seeds

7 Cloves of Roasted garlic or 2 Crushed Garlic cloves

1 Carrot

2 Dates

1/2 Red Onion

1/2 Tsp Rock Sea Salt

7 Pink Peppercorns 

If you are roasting your garlic for this sauce.
Put your oven on gas mark 5, pop your garlic bulb onto a baking tray and into the oven for 30 minutes.

Your garlic should look gorgeously roasted.

Take each clove and easily peel their skins from them, and put them into the vitamix/blender ready for blending the sauce.

Now add all the dry ingredients.

And all the wet to the vitamix/blender.

Blitz until completely smooth.

If the sauce is too thick for your liking, feel free to just add more water and blend again.

The sauce isn't pink like marie rose sauce, you can easily make this pink by adding some beetroot juice, add a little bit at a time to make it your preferred colour.

Lovely with salads, used as a dipping sauce, use it instead of mayo for a tangy tuna pasta.....

Motivation & Positivity Questionnaire

Two weeks ago I was in quite a lot of pain from my cystoscopy as quite a few of you read and probably know already, well i was still trying to sort out my recipes and thought i'd stop and see how the rest of the world was getting on... I found whilst looking there was alot of negativity and people putting other people down and this was meant to be humourous?! also I found alot of help forums and support groups not very up-lifting nor did they look on the bright side. 

Until I came across a blog that was uplifting and gave me motivation again:

 Here is the post about this lovely lady Aly 

So after this ladies inspiration, I decided to put together a questionnaire and asked various people with Endometriosis / IBS / Fibromyalgia Etc.. for their answers, to boost motivation and positivity and to look at what problems they have from a different angle, and hopefully help themselves and other people deal with their problems differently and also I hope this questionnaire will promote happiness and inspire everyone too. 

I am going to start posting the answers / photos and inspired recipes soon... 

If you would like to be involved, All you have to do is email the answers to the following questions to:
