CASHEW NUT CHEESE
This is a non-dairy 'cheese' recipe made from cashews (or cashew butter). It is a great cheese substitute and can be used on a roasted red pepper panini sandwich, a fancy ham and cheese sandwich, an artichoke heart wrap (that recipe is soon to come), etc.

BEST EVER CASHEW CHEESE SAUCE
This is a versatile cashew cheese sauce that's totally plant-based. I use it as a pasta sauce, as a pizza topping, over roasted veggies, on tacos and for grilled cheese. It doesn't reheat well, so I don't suggest making a double batch to use throughout the week. -Max Gregor, Santa Fe, New Mexico
