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!

- 0.5 cups unsalted raw cashews
- 0.5 cups water , or more as needed
- ¼ onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lime , juiced
- 2 cloves garlic , peeled
- 0.5 teaspoons dried basil
- salt and ground black pepper to taste

Kim's Buttermilk Spice Cake
This spice cake was inspired by a recipe from one of my mom's old cookbooks. It was my great-grandpa's favorite cake, and I used to make it for him all the time. It's a simple cake that's not too sweet, and has a rather strong spice flavor. Err on the side of underbaking the cake rather than overbaking, or it'll be dry.
