July 2012 Weddings

Random info

This couldn't possibly be more random, but whatever.

I had never had quinoa pasta, but this morning when I was buying my green juice, I saw some at the organic raw/vegan store. I bought it and had it for lunch and it's AMAZING. Like, the best thing I've tried recently. It's "Mac and Cheese" - gluten free quinoa pasta with raw cashew "cheese". Seriously I ate the whole entire thing in about 3 minutes flat.

Re: Random info

  • That sounds so good! I love quinoa and I've seen recipes for quinoa mac & cheese but never with cashew cheese.

  • Sounds freaking delicious! I so want mac & cheese, I passed a place that said something about fried mac & cheese in my travels today and I almost stopped for it.

  • Also what is cashew cheese? If this is cheese made out of cashews I may have to find some like asap.

    Anniversary
  • Michelle, yes! It's "cheese" made out of cashews (and, like some other raw/vegan stuff).

    It's all vegan in the store, but you really, truly do not miss the real cheese. The cashew cheese is so creamy and nutty, but it tastes like cheese! I am newly in love (and I am not vegan or even vegetarian by any stretch of the imagination).

  • Yummmy, one of my BFF's/BM's is vegetarian (never had meat in her life) and is also gluten intollerant so I've eaten some odd things in my life living with her over the years but this sounds delicious.

  • Cashew... cheese?  It's not cashew butter? 

    Ow, my brain.

  • There's a vegan mexican restaurant here (is that like the strangest love child or what?) and they use cashew cheese too. It's good. And like b2b said, it's creamy, but it's not melty like real cheese. 

    Has anyone ever tried a vegan cashew milk shake? It sounds so wrong but it is SO GOOD.

  • YES - I love Cashew Milk shakes. I get them at the same store. They also have ones with Hemp in them which are pretty good, although slightly different consistency which I'm not sure I prefer. (I'm weird.)
