Cashew Cheese

Cashew Cheese

Cashew Cheese is our new obsession and it has made it into our new, improved traditional Christmas fare.  During the year we predominantly eat a whole food plant base diet.  Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas meals are the general exception to the rule where we permit ourselves to eat or serve some type of animal base product and some processed foods. We don’t give in wholeheartedly to these exceptions, mainly because we have lost our appetite for such food.  We try to give ourselves and our guests alternative options. 

Basil Pesto

Basil Pesto

Our family’s favourite pasta sauce is this version of a Basil Pesto.   In the spring we plant many basil and parley plants.  It is wonderful to have fresh basil available when your tomatoes start to ripen and fresh parsley to add to salads. When the growing season comes to a close, we are busy making our Basil Pesto in bulk.
