Plant Based Vegan Cashew Cheese Pate

This plant-based cashew pate is so creamy and spreadable

 I think one of the things that I miss once I decided to eliminate dairy from my diet was cheese. Cheese was one of my favorite foods to snack on. I was craving cheese and needed a plant-based substitute to enjoy.  So I searched through vegan recipes until I discovered a vegan cheese spread that looked so delicious. I just knew that I had to make this plant-based recipe. 

 I am so glad that I bought the ingredients that I needed to make this cashew cheese as the plant-based recipe was a huge success. This plant-based cheese spread tastes just like a cream pate. My favorite way to enjoy this vegan spread is on crackers. While it may not be like a slice of cheddar cheese, it is a wonderful substitute for those who are allergic to dairy products. This delicious spread could be comparable to a cheese ball or other spreadable cheese. 

Vegan Cashew Cheese Is So Nutritious

 This vegan cashew cheese pate is not only delicious but is very healthy too. So people who follow a vegetarian food plan will enjoy this healthy snack. I just love spreading this creamy cashew pate on crackers. Trust me after one bite of this cashew pate, you will want more. Go ahead and indulge in this spread. This vegan pate is made with plant-based ingredients and a superfood called nutritional yeast. Nutritional yeast is loaded with plenty of vitamins. This meatless cheese spread is loaded with protein, fiber, B vitamins, and lots of minerals. You will love that this creamy pate is also plant-based and has such a wonderful nutty taste.

Vegan Cashew Cheese is:

+ Vegan

+ Plant-based

+ Vegetarian

+ Meatless

+ Creamy

+ Spreadable

+ Nutty

+ Dairy-Free

+ Loaded with Protein

+ Allergy-Friendly

+ Full of vitamins

+ Full of fiber

+ Gluten-free

Nutritional Yeast is a Superfood

 Nutritional yeast is the superfood ingredient in my cashew pate. Nutritional yeast is a  delicious salty, creamy, nutty, cheese-tasting superfood that can be sprinkled on just about everything! I love sprinkling it over spaghetti squash and oatmeal. Nutritional yeast is also naturally comprised of 50% protein (a complete vegan source), over 20% fiber, contains all 18 amino acids and 15 different minerals (including iron, selenium, and zinc) as well as a natural vitamin B-complex and Beta-glucans (known for their extreme immune-enhancing properties)

So easy to make

 To make the vegan spread that tastes like a fancy cheese ball or a pate spread, you just combine a couple of ingredients in a blender. Vegan ingredients like cashews, soy sauce, and nutritional yeast are just a few of the ingredients. This pate can be formed in many different shapes. I like mine in a round disk but you could use a different type of pan and make the cashew cheese pate in a square or even log shape.

The perfect party food

 When you eat dairy-free or vegan, it can be hard to find food to eat at a party. So I always like to bring a dish that is plant-based so I know there will be something I can enjoy eating. This vegan cheese is so easy to whip up. I like to place the cashew cheese on a cutting board and serve it with some different varieties of crackers. This plant-based pate would look very nice in the center of a meat and cheese board. Your non-vegan friends would be surprised to learn that it was made from cashews and was a meatless meal option.

Homemade Almond Milk From Almond Flour

Looking for a quick and easy way to make homemade almond milk? Grab a bag of almond flour and make a batch of creamy almond milk without the mess.

 I recently learned the truth about store-bought almond milk and I will not be buying store-bought nut milk. I have decided that I will be making homemade almond milk. What most people do not know is that the container of almond milk that is in your fridge contains very few almonds but a whole lot of other ingredients that you may not want. Store-bought almond milk is mostly water, sugar, artificial preservatives, and emulsifiers. Yuck!

 So I decided to make almond milk from scratch using raw almonds. Then I quickly learned how time-consuming and messy it was to make homemade almond milk. No wonder they sell nut bags in packs of 6, as they are a pain to wash! The almond pulp never quite rinses off the nut bag. So I made almond milk once or twice and started buying almond milk again. I felt so defeated!

Homemade Almond Milk From Almond Flour 

 One day I was looking at a bag of almond flour and reading the ingredients when a light bulb went off in my mind. Almond flour is made from blanched almonds. You can make homemade almond milk using almond flour. The almond flour takes away the long, messy part of making almond milk at home. Almond flour eliminates having to soak the raw almonds and then having to peel the almonds. 

Homemade Almond Milk from Almond Flour is 

~ Creamy

~ Easy to make

~ Delicious 

~ Saves Time

~ Cheaper than store-bought

~ Contains no preservatives

~ Better for you

~ Plant-Based

~ Dairy-Free

~ Gluten-Free

~ Perfect for recipes and coffee

Homemade Sweetened Condensed Almond Milk Recipe 

Eliminate having to strain the messy almond pulp

Making almond milk from almond flour still requires straining of the almond pulp from the almond milk if you use a blender. I have discovered a small appliance that makes nut milk and this device eliminates the messy almond pulp straining. The Nut Milk Maker makes a delicious, creamy glass of almond milk in minutes without the mess!

 I love using the Nutr Nut Milk Machine. This unique nut milk device makes all kinds of plant-based milk, from homemade oat milk to almond milk. The best part of using the Nutr machine, after the delicious creamy plant-based milk, is how simple it is to use and that it leaves behind very little nut pulp.

Showing My Disney Side With A Celebration

  We love Disney at my house! We received a huge box of Disney items to have a celebration with and decided to share them with the Sunday school class at church. The kids at church were having a pizza party to celebrate filling up their nickle's for Jesus jar. The teacher of the class told me that she was bring pizza to the kids, so I decided to surprise her class with other goodies from my Disney box along with the paper goods. The teacher of the class was thrilled, not only for the goodies but for the paper goods, as she forgot to bring those.

My son helped me set the table with the plates, cups, and napkins. We them gave every setting goodies like pencils, nail polish ( even the boys loved these), tattoos and other fun items from the box. The Sunday school kids were thrilled for the celebration! I only took pictures of before the party as I did not want to take pictures of the kids without the parents permission. 

Here are the items I received in my Disney Side box. The green boxes are filled with photo cards. I gave those to the Sunday school director so she could use them for badge pictures of the kids. My boys and I tried to make cupcakes with the cake mix for another party that had with Cub scouts, but they did not turn out well. Thanks Disney for the great party items!

Premium Turmeric Curcumin By Schwartz Bioresearch Helps With Inflammation, Arthritis and Joint Pain

    I used to be a runner, but because of joint problems I had to stop running. The last time I went to the foot doctor for my joint/tendon problems, they gave me a walking boot. I had to wear this massive thing for three weeks and I had to stop all exercise. The walking boot also made me super slow when I walked. Old people with walkers were faster than me. My joint/tendon has come back and I am trying to heal it on my own so I don't have to wear the boot. I was taking ibuprofen several times a day and that seemed to help but it was not doing my stomach any good. I sought out a natural alternative and discovered that Turmeric was good for pain and inflammation. The only problem was, I would have to eat a spoonful of it to get the benefits. I knew I could not handle the taste of that, so what was I suppose to do.

  I discovered that  Schwartz Bioresearch makes Premium Turmeric Curcumin in an easy to swallow capsule and had to try it. I was sent a bottle of the Turmeric capsules to put to the test. All I had to do was take 2 capsules, 1-2 times a day to help with my joint problems. I liked that this was a natural option so I did not have to take ibuprofen which was hard on my stomach.

Premium Turmeric Curcumin is a natural and organic joint pain relief solution that also has  anti-inflammatory effects too. This supplement also is an antioxidant which supports liver, aging and vision health too. It is a  100% safe and natural answer to your ailments!

   I love that this supplement uses natural turmeric and is free of GMOs, preservatives, fillers, additives and binders. I just took 2 capsules in the morning and 2 after I walked. These capsules helped me with my joint pain so I am able to walk without pain. I still can not run, but that is OK for now as I don't have to wear the massive boot.
