How to Make Adventist Haystacks

The great thing about making a Haystack taco salad is that you can use whatever ingredients or condiments you have available as long as they tower up like a stack of haystacks. Haystacks was created by Ella May Hartlein who brought her favorite tex-mex ingredients to her church potluck picnic.

You will need beans or chili that you have heated up to start making an Adventist Haystack. You can make haystacks in any way you like. I like to build mine with Fritos or Fritos crunched up, whole tortilla chips. Then add beans or chilli, and top it with the veggies in layers. Finish with salsa or sourcream and cilantro or green onions.

Put all sauces and toppings in separate bowls if you are making haystacks to serve at a gathering or potluck. You can then put all the ingredients out on the counter or table and let everyone grab a plate to assemble their Haystacks by placing a handful of tortilla chips, whole or crushed. Then add the beans or chili, and top it with the veggies in layers. Finish with salsa or sourcream and cilantro or green onions.

Enjoy your meal with a fork, or chips. It's so easy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you get enough nutrition from a plant based diet?

Yes, it is possible to get enough protein from a plant-based food. You can get amino acids from legumes, nuts, seeds and grains to help build muscle and keep you healthy. Tofu and other soy products contain all the essential amino acids that your body can't make but must obtain from food. Vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or kale are also high in protein and can provide the amount of protein required for adequate nutrition when combined with legumes and grains. Plant-based proteins tend to have lower levels in saturated fats than animal protein and can be used to support long-term satiety. Other essential nutrients can also be balanced by adding omega-3 fats to plant-based foods like flaxseeds or chia seeds and walnuts.

Can I eat a diet that is plant-based and still eat eggs?

A plant-based diet does not allow eggs. This diet completely eliminates any animal products like meat, poultry, fish, or eggs. There are many vegan options for traditional egg-centric dishes that have the same flavor and texture as eggs, but they don't rely on animal products. Tofu scrambles and omelets are great breakfast options that have the same appearance and texture as eggs. They also provide plant-based protein. Chickpea flour and mashed banana can be used to replace eggs in baked goods. Aquafaba, which is the liquid in chickpea cans, can also be used as an alternative to eggs when making meringues and other desserts. Additionally, egg replacers like flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with water substituted for one large egg can help keep non-vegan recipes intact without sacrificing taste.

What are some of the best sources for protein on a plant based diet?

On a plant-based diet, legumes like chickpeas and beans are excellent sources of protein. These plant-based proteins are rich in fiber and essential micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals. The addition of omega-3 fatty acids from flaxseeds or chia seeds to a plant-based diet can help to balance nutrient levels.

Can you still eat out at restaurants on a plant-based diet?

Many restaurants now offer plant-based menu options. In larger cities and communities, many vegan restaurants are popping up and offering exciting food choices. There are also vegetarian-friendly options available in most mainstream restaurants, so there is still plenty of opportunity to enjoy restaurant offerings while eating a plant-based diet. Look out for recipes that include vegetables and legumes, such a tofu or tempeh, seitan or other protein sources, like beans. Vinegar and healthy oils can be substituted for mayonnaise or dressings that are high in saturated oil. Do not be afraid to ask your server whether certain items can be made vegan.

You can also research vegan cookbooks ahead of time to get ideas on how proteins can be substituted for meats and rich sauces. Most restaurants are happy to accommodate those who follow a plant-based lifestyle and will make every effort to accommodate them. If you're creative and do some research, it is possible to eat out on a plant based diet and enjoy your meal.

Statistics

According to research published, going plant-based can cut grocery bills by $750 a year per person, Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition. (forksoverknives.com)
Another found that following a diet rich in plant foods and lower in animal foods was associated with a 16 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease and a 31 to 32 percent lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease. (everydayhealth.com)

Also, try to get different colors of produce for better nutrition. You should ensure that each meal contains a healthy balance of fiber, protein, as well as healthy oils. Use kitchen appliances such as multi-cookers or slow cookers to maximize efficiency. Batch cooking is a great way to save time and make meals ahead.

It's possible to be creative while following a vegan diet. You can experiment with different flavor profiles. Adding spices such as chili powder and cayenne pepper to dishes can make them more delicious while keeping them healthy. Whole foods over processed substitutes can transform plant-based dishes from bland to flavorful in just minutes.
