Miso Tahini Everything Sauce
SAUCE. It’s the dinner hero you never realized you always needed. I probably make the same dinners every week, but no one even knows. Wanna know why? Because of SAUCE. Do I get compliments on my dinners often? Sure. Wanna know why? Because of SAUCE. Getting food on the table for the fam is super quick and easy. Wanna know why? Do I even have to say it? YEP IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF SAUCE.

Every week, I roast a chicken. Or a turkey. Sometimes it’s grilled steak. Or fried tofu. I also steam some rice, roast a sweet potato or two and chop some veggies. “So what, Jenni?? We ALL do that”...is what you’re probably saying. But the KEY to making my Make-Ahead meals new every single night is having a few different BOMB QUALITY sauces stocked and ready.

This Miso Tahini Everything Sauce courtesy of Smitten Kitchen can turn plain tofu into a flavorful Buddha Rice Bowl. It can breath life back into leftover roasted chicken. Throw it in a bowl and serve it with crudités. Or as a dip for summer rolls, gyoza or roasted veggies. Drizzle it on a roasted sweet potato or on a sandwich. And not to state the obvious, but it’s an addictively delicious salad dressing as well.

So what CAN’T this sauce do? It’s probably not the best face mask or sunscreen but who knows. I’m 43 and still put toothpaste on my zits so let’s not rule anything out quite yet.
