Then in the same blender, blend all ingredients again until they form whipped butter, scraping down sides repeatedly until the butter is white and whipped. Then place whipped butter into silicone butter molds and place back into the refrigerator to harden for use.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup raw cashews
4 cups water, divided*
1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey or agave nectar
Dash of sea salt
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Soak the cashews in water at least 4 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator (optional). Drain the cashews and rinse until the water runs clear. Add the cashews and two cups water to a blender. Start on a low setting and increase the speed until the cashews are totally pulverized. This could take 2 minutes in a high-powered blender or longer in a regular blender.
Blend in 2 cups more water*, your sweetener of choice, sea salt, vanilla extract (non-alcoholic) optional, and cinnamon (optional). If your blender can’t totally break down the cashews, strain the milk through a fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth. Store the milk in a covered container in the refrigerator. It should keep for 3 to 4 days
Cashew milk is full of redeeming nutrients, like magnesium, phosphorus, iron, potassium and zinc. The fat in cashews is mostly unsaturated and they are a good source of protein.

MELTY CHEESE
1/2 C hot water
2 TBSP unbleached flour
3/4 C cashews
1/4 C pimentos
3 1/3 TBSP sesame seeds
1/3 C Brewer's yeast flakes (optional)
1 tsp salt
1 TBSP lemon juice
2 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp garlic powder
Add all of the cashew cream ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend on high until a super smooth sauce forms. If using a Vitamix, use the tamper to get things moving. If your blender is having a hard time blending, you can add a splash more water to help things along.
This is a very flexible recipe depending on the ingredients on hand and the number of people you want to feed. Make a double batch of the sauce and keep on hand for daily Thai inspired lunch bowls.

Roasted Beets: cut tops and bottoms off of the beets. Peel with carrot peeler. Cut into cubes. Put into casserole dish, drizzle with olive oil and add a ½ tsp Himalayan salt to taste. Toss and cover with tin-foil. Place into 375-degree oven for 30 minutes or until tender. Cool before adding to salad.
Glazed nuts: Chop a cup of raw nuts (walnuts, pecans, pepitas) or a combination. Add to a sauce pan and drizzle with honey. Heat and sauté, constantly tossing, until you can smell the nut. Remove from heat and place on parchment paper. When cooled they will be brittle.
Depending on the number of people you are serving, on a large platter layer Spring mix, then place a layer of roasted beets, then sprinkled layer of mandarin oranges, then a layer of slivered red onion an finally, a layer of honey glazed nuts. Pour dressing over and serve. (You may toss the greens first, but do not toss after assembling).

Lentil Bolognese
This Lentil Bolognese is hearty, meaty, and 100% wholesome, and it’s made with pantry staples!
Serving size:6
INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
If using crushed tomatoes, you may need to add a little water or lower the heat as needed to prevent burning.
I prefer to cook for 20 minutes for a more developed flavor.
Note: If you're not serving all of the Bolognese at this time, transfer the amount of Bolognese sauce you'd like to eat to the pasta pot. Add the hot cooked pasta, turn the heat to medium, and toss to coat. Store the leftover Bolognese sauce separately in the fridge.
Have garbanzo fusilli pasta ready. Place pasta into a sauté pan, pour the pesto mixture over the pasta toss on low to medium heat until combined and heated through. For garnish, add basil leaves and pine nuts.
A Quick and easy way to prepare vegetables for a large group. Asparagus, Brussel Sprouts, Green Beans or as you choose. These easy tasty veggies will compliment most large gathering meals.
Rinse vegetables of your choice, place on cookie sheet whole or cut into smaller pieces (I usually cut Brussel sprouts in half). Drizzle with olive oil and salt to taste. Then toss. Place in oven at 420 for about 20 minutes or until al dente done. Asparagus and green beans may only take about 15 minutes whereas brussels sprouts will take 20-25 minutes.
Healthy Pasta Alternatives (#NO refined flour!)
Zoodles: use spiralizer to create long strands out of zucchini or yellow squash, even sweet potato! Add uncooked to a warm pasta sauce and serve.
Spaghetti Squash: Cut squash in half and discard seeds and hairs. Drizzle with olive oil and salt. Place face down on cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 40-45 min until the flesh is fork-tender and completely cooked through. Let rest for at least 15 minutes or until it's cool enough to handle. Using a fork, start at one end and scrape the "noodles" out lengthwise. Toss with any sauce (marinara or pesto are delicious!) or just a dash of extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper
Chickpea Noodles: Noodles made with chickpea flower. Bonza brand can be purchased at Costco or at most natural grocers.
Brown Rice Noodles: Our favorite pasta alternative! Available in all shapes at natural grocery stores.
Zucchini Lasagna Noodles: Instead of pasta lasagna noodles, try thinly sliced zucchini “noodles”. If you find that they are too juicy, you can slice them up and bake them ahead to dehydrate before using in the lasagna.
Creamy Pasta Sauce
In blender, combine cashews and water, blend till smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend well. Adjust seasonings as to your liking. Add water or soy milk as needed until desired thickness is reached (Sauce will thicken as it cooks). Cook in saucepan on medium heat till bubbly. Toss with whole grain pasta or pasta alternative and serve.
Optional toppings: Sundried tomatoes, pine nuts, fresh basil
Fast and Easy Home-made Marinara
2 28 ounce can or crushed or diced tomatoes
3 Tbs Oregano
