Cashew Queso

,

1 Cup of raw cashews

1/8 cup of chopped white/yellow onion

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1 Tsp apple cider vinegar

3T nutritional yeast (try to find one without folic acid and synthetic vitamins if possible)

1/2 tsp. taco seasoning

1 tsp lemon juice

Sprinkle of salt and pepper

Dash of paprika for color

A little bit of dijon mustard

  1. Pour boiling water over cashews and onion. Let sit at least 20min and then strain.

  2. In a blender or food processor, add the strained onion/cashew, and remaining ingredients except salt and blend. Add water a little bit at a time until smooth. Scrape down sides or use the tamper thing if needed. Add salt to taste.

  3. Enjoy! Store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days (tip: things in the back of the refrigerator will last longer because it is colder back there than the door)

This delicious recipe was created by my sister, Ally! It is very easy to throw together and customize. Great on tacos, tortilla chips as nachos, buddha bowls, roasted cauliflower, you name it!

Easy Vegan Mozzarella Cheese Sauce

, ,

Pizza is my favorite food so going gluten and dairy free was rather difficult. After trying every gluten and dairy free pizza and hating it, I took to making my own but couldn’t find any store bought vegan mozzarella cheese that I actually liked. Also, most of the store bought vegan cheeses are extremely processed with a few questionable ingredients. This mozzarella recipe is not only the best vegan mozzarella I’ve had, but its super easy to make and I can finally have pizza again!

Ingredients:

1.5 cups raw cashews

1 cup filtered water

1 Tbsp lemon juice

1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp sea salt

2 Tbsp arrowroot powder

Option: 1/4 tsp each of garlic and onion powder


Directions:

Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend! If no high speed blender, soak cashews in hot water for about an hour before blending.


Favorite ways to eat:

  • 1. Great on pizza! Put under the broiler for a minute and it will get crispy and brown like regular cheese! My favorite crusts are:

    • Siete almond flour tortillas (SO good and a healthy low carb option)

    • Gluten free bagel, english muffin, or french bread

    • Cauliflower crust—purchased frozen from a health food store

  • My homemade Pizza Muffins/Calzones

  • 2. Add to pasta dishes. I love to do half this half Kite Hill ricotta for lasagna.

3. Pour on top of eggplant or chicken parm before baking.

  • 4. Freeze any extra in a tiny mason jar and thaw out in the fridge overnight! You could also freeze in little balls (on a sheet pan before combining them or they’ll all stick together!)
