This past weekend was a MORSELICIOUS SWIRL! First our Mac-n-Mo’s demo at my hometown
Sacramento Coop then dad (Mac) and Mo attended Dr. Oz’s non-profit, Health Corps Gala at
the Memorial Auditorium in mid-town Sac, where I spent lots of my childhood including,
the circus, the Ice Capades, where I got Dorthy Hamill’s autograph and haircut,
Rick Springfield’s concert, whom you might recall was Mac-n-Mo’s FIRST customer
at P.C. Greens in Malibu. Swoon!
Mac-n-Mo had a “merry ole’ time in Oz” and such an amazing cause. I was on the host committee and hope to do more with this incredible group.
Many have asked for my cashew cream recipe again.
Ask and you shall receive!
ENJOY and feel free to share some of YOUR versions!!!
Cashew cream is such a versatile VEGAN (NO cholesterol) alternative to cream, cheese, butter and SOOO easy!
* Cashew Cream
(it’s SO easy & NO cholesterol)
2 cups of Raw Cashews
1 cup of water
cover cashews in water in bowl
Soak in refrgerator overnight
Drain some of the water in the morning
and blend well into a thick cream
I store mine in a tightly covered jar and use as a butter,
cheese, spread, icing, whipped “cream”…It will last in the fridge approximately one week.
VARIATIONS:
for a sweeter vanilla frosting/icing:
add 1-2 tsp. vanilla and a pinch of stevia (Sweet Leaf)
OR
1-2 tsp coconut extract, almond extract, maple extract, mint extract…the variations are ENDLESS & MORSELICIOUS!
for a spicier version with some kick:
add 1-2 tsp wasabi powder or pepper (black red or both)
So, how was the Dr Oz gala? Do tell! Photos?
Thanks for asking, Karen!
Mac-n-Mo had a MERRY OLE TIME in Oz…he’s incredible.
His P.R. people are sending us the photo of us with he & his wife.
I want to know what Amy’s suggestion was! I also want to see pictures of Mo and Dr. Oz! (I seem so needy today. . .)
Thanks, Reece!
Amy posted twice. Here is her first: “best way to defeat diabetes is to get kids eating less grains and sugar and more fresh fruits and veggies. get kids into smoothies early – it’s amazing what you can hide in those things. eat more nuts – and of course mo’s morsels instead of sugary snacks. get sugar cereals off of supermarket shelves – don’t get me started…..my daughter ended up with low fat chocolate milk on fruit loops for lunch at school yesterday when the salad she ordered did not come in – how much do we love public schools???? not much this week!!!! UGH. and then when she wasn’t filled, they gave her macaroni salad – lots of veggies there, right???? NOT!!!!”
pix with Dr. Oz is coming… 🙂
I found recently that the chew cream is also a nice alternative to silken tofu for the vegan Caesar salad dressing recipe 🙂
Thanks, Landry!
I’m assuming you meant to type CAShew cream or is chew cream a hip term I should know? 🙂
Yes, a typo 🙂 But I also thought maybe “chew” could be our hip vegan new name for cashew foods 🙂
I LOVE your thinking! 🙂
you are very welcome, Michelle!
TIP: the amount of water determines how thick or thin your cream will be…
Thank you for posting the cashew cream recipe! I’ve been wondering how to make it!
