Fudgesicles

by

I have a confession. I love popsicles and collecting popsicle molds. I have all shapes and sizes, including molds that will freeze popsicles within 9 minutes. After all, who can wait 6 hours for these fun fudgesicles when we can have them in 9 minutes!

Blueberry Muffins & Cashew Cream Cheese

by

On  a whim, I added my cashew cream cheese to a blueberry muffin. Once I turned my family onto the idea, all I heard was, “Mmmm!”.  My blueberry muffins are super easy to make and the cream cheese is even easier. I make a fresh batch of cashew cream cheese every week and store it in a glass container in the fridge. Below, you will find my blueberry muffin recipe. See my Cashew Cream Cheese under “Sauces, Dips & Dressings”.

Cashew Cream Cheese

by

I love cashews! They’re versatile and make a great creamy base for a number of my recipes. I make a fresh batch of cashew cream cheese each week. I use it as a spread, as a topping on my taco salad, and as a creamy addition to my veggie filled omelets. It lends a light, creamy, and slightly sweet flavor.
