This recipe comes in so handy, so often.  Thank goodness it is easy to make. You do have to soak the cashews but, luckily, that doesn’t take any tending to.

So many times I am trying to think of a casserole to make and, gosh darn it, every time it needs a sauce or spread as one of the layers.  It became my mission to create some delicious cheesy type spreads that I could use to expand my horizons.

Well, this Cashew Cheddar Cheese Spread is one and there is a Creamy Mozzarella Spread that will be coming your way soon.

I love this recipe because it is so versatile.  Layer it inside macaroni casseroles, use it in burritos, on tacos and it is even a great dip.  You can spread it in pita bread along with mung bean sprouts and all your favorite veggies.  Check it out!

  13. What a fun way to have that cheese flavor when you’re trying to cut back or for those that can’t have cheese in their diet. Great job can’t wait to see the mozzarella version!
