Creamy Cashew Salad Dressing
I created this creamy cashew salad dressing recipe for my cousin who cannot eat (drum roll) dairy, soy, eggs, peanuts, or yeast. She wanted a creamy salad dressing, and after looking at others for inspiration, this is what we came up with. It is really nice, reminiscent of hummus, and pretty darn healthy! Please send notes and improvements!
White Fruitcake
My mother's white fruitcake has been a Christmas favorite for as long as I can remember. It's a little lighter than a traditional dark holiday fruitcake made with molasses, but still moist and flavorful, loaded with bits of candied and dried fruits. My whole family loves it! I know there are a lot of people out there who have issues with fruitcake, but this recipe has converted even the most reluctant. This recipe makes three loaves so keep one for yourself and gift the other two!
