Cashew Butter Dip

I love trying to incorporate a little protien into our snacks.  This was a nice alternative to peanut butter.

1 cup unsalted cashew butter
5 small dates
1/3 tsp salt

Blend together until smooth.  Serve with fruit, veggies, crackers, etc.

We ate ours with apples and celery.
 

Bicuits and Gravy

I had made up my own sausage gravy recipe, then someone clued me into this recipe.  It is much better!  I made a double batch of this gravy recipe and added 1 lb of cooked turkey sausage one night.  I placed it in a glass dish and put it in the fridge overnight.  The next morning, I made a batch of buttermilk biscuits.  I put the pan of sausage gravy in the oven with the biscuits.  The result was a wonderfully creamy, hot breakfast with very little clean up.  This recipe feels so indulgent and is a big hit with my family.  It makes the kitchen smell so good & inviting on a cold winter morning!
