Food, cooking, eating, and me

Okay, this would only have helped you if you had a Shaw’s Supermarket handy and you were able to get there during the sale, while they had Envirokids breakfast cereal on sale for $3.50 a box, which is like $1.50 off. I totally stocked up.

I guess this is an excuse to give you my favorite recipe for nut milk.
Cashew Milk

• 4 ounces (weight) of whole raw cashews
• 4 cups of water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Put the cashews in the blender. Blend them into fine granules. Add water to cover, and then add more water as you blend, stirring them up from the bottom, until it is thick and smooth. Add more water until it is the consistency of cream. Add the salt. Pour into a pitcher, cover, and refrigerate.

If you blend it very smooth, there will be hardly any gritty residue, unlike almonds, which absolutely have to be filtered. I find it’s good enough for cereal and smoothies. I don’t drink milk. You may want to filter it anyway. Give it a stir after it has been sitting in the refrigerator for a while.

It is great over cereal with bananas or strawberries. Yum.
