              2 Cups Raw Cashews

              3 TBSP Lemon Juice 

              1/2 Cup Nutritional Yeast

              4 Cups Water, divided

              1 tsp Garlic

              1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika

              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

                  I am taking family favorite recipes and developing a new version for the allergy challenged 🤪 I love the Smells and Tastes of Christmas but cannot indulge in the treats without consequences.  So, I posted my version previously,  but I wanted to give credit to my mother.

                  Hopefully you can look at both recipes and see where you can substitute ingredients to adapt to your families needs.

                  ENJOY!

                    So, I decided that I wanted to enjoy the holidays without a stomachache this year.  I want all the sights, sounds, lights and TASTES that remind me of Christmas and family.  I was talking with my sister and looking through her recipes, all the hand written notes and recipes that have been passed on through the years.  I wanted to write down all the originals and also make a “new recipe” for the current times.  SO many clients of mine (myself included) have dairy or gluten allergies and I know we feel left out sometimes and or then sick later if we indulge in our “old favorites”.  So, here is my first recipe that I adapted from one of my mom’s recipes.  I will also post the originals so you can learn how to make substitutions with your family favorites.

                    For this first round, I left out the cherries so I could make a crust instead.  The last creamy batter picture I added the cherries and made them into cookies.
