Creamy Raw Cashew Caesar Dressing
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.
Kristin's Turkey Butternut Squash Casserole
I based this recipe for a ground turkey and butternut squash casserole on one submitted on this site by member Mildred Sherrer from Fort Worth, Texas. This is my very tweaked version that cuts some of the fat and calories. I think this is a great recipe for a family.
Easy, Speedy Corn Muffins
This is a very moist, made-in-minutes corn muffin with a hint of sweetness. The batter can also be baked in a 13x9 pan for approximately 40 minutes to make corn bread.
