              1 tsp Onion Powder

              1/2 tsp Chili or Chipotle powder

              2 tsp Himalayan Sea salt

              Optional:

              1 tsp Sriracha or Chili Sauce

              Soak the cashews: You can either do a quick soak, or soak the cashews for several hours or overnight. To quick soak, simply boil water in a tea kettle or on the stovetop, cover the cashews with the boiling water and set aside for 10-15 minutes. Drain.

              Blend: In a blender (high powered preferred, a food processor will also work), add the cashews, lemon juice, 3 cups of the water, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and the salt.

              Warm: In a medium saucepan, add the cheese sauce from the blender. Using a whisk, warm over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it begins to bubble and thicken. Add the last cup of water, depending on how thick or thin you want the sauce to be.

              Add salt to taste, and Sriracha if using, depending on your spice preference. If the cheese sauce sits for a while, or you refrigerate the leftovers, it will thicken. Simply warm it again on the stove, adding water as needed to thin

                    Yet another Fabulous recipe from the fam!  Lynsey makes this roll and the kids like it just as is, so I wrote it out just like she did so I could preserve it.  I love watching kids’ eyes roll back as they take in the flavors.  She makes it special for her husband every year, I absolutely love that!  So, wanted to pass along her tradition.
