Cashew Queso

Cashew Queso is easy to whip up. I like to use the smoothie cup attachment for my ninja blender since it is such a small amount. 

We topped our nachos with this recipe but would be awesome in burritos, tacos or just served as a dip.

Ingredients:

1/2 C cashews, soaked for 4 hours to soften
1/4-1/2 c water
2 tbs nutritional yeast
1 Chipotle chilie
2 tbs salsa

Blend cashews, 1/4 cup of water, nutritional yeast, Chipotle chili and salsa until smooth, adding more water if necessary for desired consistency.

Fruit Punch, Just like Grandma used to make!

Google "fruit punch recipe" and chances are you will find they all use Hawaiian Punch concentrate. I wanted a fruit punch for the Toddlers birthday that didn't include high fructose corn syrup but I couldn't find one. So I turned to my grandmothers Betty Crocker Cookbook from the 1930's and it had a recipe that actually used fruit juice! After tweaking it a bit, and removing the extra sugar it called for, we had a hit! A sweet fruity fruit punch without high fructose corn syrup, artificial color or flavors, just like grandma used to make!
