Pass the Peas Please!

Molly created her Green Dream Campaign to hold politicians, businesses, and organizations accountable for their practices. Her campaign encourages these people to exclude plastic, fossil fuels, and animal products from their operations. She has even held plastic-free events to show them how it’s possible to have a good time sustainably. Her Green Dream Pledge asks the people in charge of these political parties to pledge their dedication to saving our planet and to adhere to the Green Dream Code of Ethics.  Molly also makes recipes that emphasize environmental awareness. All the recipes are vegan and they are all delicious!

Molly proves you can make anything vegan on today’s show! The  Gardein Mini Crabless Cakes that she uses make any meal instantly gourmet without having to rob a crustacean of its life. She starts cooking by getting the crabless cakes sizzling in the pan with some oil. Then, she boils the peas. Molly even shows us how to make homemade vegan tartar sauce in less than a minute! She uses Follow Your Heart Vegenaise, dill relish, and a squeeze of lemon to make this gorgeous sauce. Next, she chops up her mini potato “nibbles” and sautés them with a little salsa for flavor. Once everything is all sizzled up and pretty on the plate, Jane jumps in for the taste test. She says it’s delicious perfection! Try making your own at home and don’t be surprised if your friends and family ask you to “Pass the Peas Please!”
