If you're a huge Caesar salad fan like I am, you may have had trouble finding a plant-based dressing that compared to the creamy, garlicky, dairy-based dressings everyone knows and loves. Over the past 2 years I have tweaked this to be just right. Went vegan and thought you'd never have a tasty Caesar dressing again? You will be pleasantly surprised! Oil-free, totally raw (except the capers), and packed with all the health benefits of cashews! Store in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 7 days.

White Pizza Sauce
This white pizza sauce is great for vegetable pizzas, meat pizzas, or pasta. Brush your favorite pizza dough with olive oil, spread sauce, add your favorite toppings, and bake per dough instructions. Also great for calzones or chicken and broccoli with fettucine. Makes enough sauce for 2 medium pizzas. Freezes beautifully. Just thaw at room temperature.
Chocolate Shortbread Cookies
These chocolaty shortbread cookies are great little cookies on their own; but are very versatile, too. You can decorate them with powdered sugar, melted chocolate, or royal icing—or fill them with frosting, ganache, or caramel to make sandwich cookies. The possibilities are endless!
Sausage Egg Casserole
Assemble the ingredients the night before, and bake this casserole in the morning. Stand back and wait for the compliments. I've made it with fat free cottage cheese, egg substitute, and reduced fat sausage; the taste is still wonderful!
