Vegan-Raw Food Creamy Cheese Recipe

CHEESE! THE GLUE OF THE UNIVERSE!

Many people think they could NEVER give up cheese!!!!! Ah, I remember those days! The truth is I really don't miss it.....well, not much anyway. 
I visited a wonderful cafe in St. Augustine, Florida last year. This cafe, The Present Moment, unlike many restaurants, sells a cookbook of their recipes. This particular recipe is immensely popular among my carnivorous and vegan friends and family. Hope you all enjoy it as much as my family has---of course, modify it to your tastes!

1 1/2 cup cashews (soaked for an hour or two)
1 red bell pepper
2 (or more) cloves garlic
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp tamari
1 Tbsp agave
1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp (or more) onion powder
pinch smoked salt

Drain cashews. Blend all ingredients in a high quality blender (I have a Blendtec)
and blend to a smooth, creamy consistency.

* I use this with tacos, taco salad, etc. but I have also used this with baked spaghetti squash and meatless meatballs. More recipes to come, I promise! And pictures too!!!!!
