The Official "I'm Sorry" Meal


You ever been so mad that you forgot  why you were mad in the first place? I do that a lot lol. 

With our half vegan diet  I have really  tried to minimize the carbs essssspeciallyyyy  at night. But sometimes  you have to compromise;) 

Nothing really special about how I made the rice. However to plate it this way I packed it all in a bowl and turned it upside-down on the plate and it came out that way on the plate. I topped it with siracha and I also made a special green sauce (not pictured).  I wish I could say I made the Injera... it actually came from the Ethiopian  restaurant  we went to last night. 

Needless to say he liked it:D

I can't Believe it's not Cheese!

Sooooo another thing I was excited to make with my Ninja is Cashew Cheese. Made it on a whim and a prayer the other night  and let me tell you, it was AHHHHHMAZING. In addition to tasting great I was suprised at how easy Cashew Cheese is to make!
Honestly you just throw the ingredients  in the blender and just blend. Most of the ingredients  are things I had in my kitchen already,  I only had to purchase the cashews.

One great  thing about  this recipe is that it can go from a spread to a dip within seconds. All you have to do is just add more water/lemon juice if you would like it to be moreso like a dip.


WHAT YOU NEED:
1 cup cashews (either soak them in water for one hour or boil them in 3 cups of water for 3 minutes)
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon of salt (more to taste if you like)
2 turns fresh black pepper 
1/4 cup water
LET GET COOKING!!

1. Place  the boiled cashews in a food processor, along with lemon juice, salt and black pepper.

2. Pulse your blender for about 1 minute to combine ingredients.

3. Add water and process until completely smooth, or whatever  consistency you desire. Also if you want to experiment with additional  spices like I did (red pepper flakes, paprika chilli powder, minced garlic) add it in now.




4. Enjoy!!!  YOU JUST MADE CHEESE!!!! Yayyyy!!!! *insert slow clap*
