Cashew Cream + Cashew Gravy + a Cream of Asparagus Soup recipe

[Guest guest]

I usually make mine thick like whipped cream and use it on my rice waffles in the morning. You can thin it down and make something more like half-n-half. There are so many different recipes and ways of making it that it's hard to send a link to just one - so here is a Google search:http://www.google.com/search?client=safari & rls=en & q=cashew+cream & ie=UTF-8 & oe=UTF-8Cashew cream is sweet, while cashew gravy is the same concept only with savory instead of sweet additives.http://www.google.com/search?client=safari & rls=en & q=cashew+gravy & ie=UTF-8 & oe=UTF-8I've used cashew cream in my coffee. It would be a good substitute if a person couldn't drink milk, but I love raw cow's milk cream and have no problems with it, so that is what I put in my herbal coffee in the AM :-)I found this recipe for cream of asparagus soup that uses a cup of cashew cream. http://www.freep.com/article/20110324/FEATURES02/103240368/Cream-Asparagus-Soup I'd like to let everyone know that in soups (or even smoothies if you wanted) you can simply add nuts whole - a hand full of cashews added to soups add a creaminess to them. I love to toss a hand full of cashews in my "cream-of" soups.

Tell me more please about cashew cream. Is it called cream because

it is similar in consistency to say Heavy Cream (dairy type)? Are

you using it that way? where you would use cream or milk?

Hello all:

I am sending this email to introduce myself, my

name is Barbara and I am from San Francisco, CA. I

received my VM a little more than a month ago. I have

wanted one for a few years. I have gained so much

knowledge from this group, so thank you very much for

imparting all of this valuable information, you are an

amazing group of individuals.

I am using my VM daily for our green smoothies but

have also made cashew cream and hummus. I am excited

to try other recipes as well as continue my quest for

consuming healthy, whole foods while having fun in the

kitchen, being creative and artistic.

All the best,

Barbara Myers

Hi Everyone...

My name is Dawn... My Vitamix is

scheduled to arrive tomorrow ( I

ordered Sunday through vm.com and

I am just jumping up and down with

joy. I decided to purchase a Vitamix

as I was looking for ways to eat

healthy and save money. My family

already eats pretty healthfully, but I

was looking for a way to amp that up.

I've bought a couple of juicers in the

past and not much juice came out along

with the waste of the good stuff.... I

am so impressed the VM just munches

everything right up and cleanup is so

easy. I did a lot of research as the

VM is an investment... decided to get

the 32, 64 wet and the 32 dry. I chose

a refurb and after joining this group

and reading up any fears about the

refurb dissipated. Thanks for the New

member link Lea Ann... I'll be

checking all the links out. I'm

looking forward to getting to know all

the VM users and learning and

sharing....
