I was craving something cheesy and awesome to put on things and mix into things. As I look around my kitchen, I was trying to figure out what I could use to accomplish this. Good thing that I stocked up on raw cashews a little over a month ago. Vegan cheeze sauce, here I come!

What do I need?

• 2 cups of raw cashews
• 2 tsp garlic powder (or fresh minced garlic)
• 1/4 c lemon juice
• 1/4 c nutritional yeast
• 1 1/2 tsp pink salt
• 1 1/4 c water
• 1 tsp red miso (optional)

How do I make this?

• Put all ingredients into a high powered blender and blend until incorporated and thick. If it becomes too thick, add a little bit of water to the mix.
• Ready to eat!

I only posted a picture of one mason jar but it actually made about one and a half jars total. This cheeze sauce will work really well in a vegan mac n cheese, over some broccoli, or on top of a tofu scramble. So many possibilities! Good thing I didn’t have to go and spend money, because I only get my $20 a week and I plan on using it on Wednesday at the farmer’s market as usual.

Send me some ideas for next time. Just remember, anything you can make, I can probably make vegan!
