Can Anyone Help?

I don't use cashew a lot, but they are so crazy good for adding a thick creamy texture and taking on the flavors of other ingredients (like tofu).
I've been culturing with soy yogurt and find that a better cream, sour cream and whatever it should be called.
Organic is also always ethical processing

Looking to make this Chipotle sauce but cashews are out of my college student budget. Any ideas for subs?​

Creamy chipotle sauce​

• ¾ cups raw cashews, soaked overnight or boiled for 10 min
• ½ cup plant-based milk, unsweetened
• ¼ tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• 1 lime, juiced
• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, plus 1 tsp of adobo sauce, adjust to taste

Just wanted to update you all and let you know that I made this using silken tofu (found on sale for $1 at Dillons!!) and it was great! Highly recommend trying, the burrito recipe that goes with it is on PlantYou. If you haven't checked out the recipes on that website you totally should!

Granola--chunky!
Supposed to be sooo easy
I can't remember making it right since my kids were young-probably because I didn't think about oil or sugar!
I have a batch in the oven now and it's looking like museli, not sticking together. I used a little oil, peanut butter, and maple syrup, but I guess not enough
Anyone have a tried and true recipe?

Any tips on cutting sun dried tomatoes easier? They're packed in oil and seem really hard to cut through the peels. Seems scissors would work best but I don't have them for food

I find using a cerated knife can work! Alternatively, holding a couple at a tiem and cutting with slicing motions pulling the knife back towards you can help.

I'm not understanding why they are hard to cut as they are quite soft. Am I missing something?

I didn't even think a serrated knife would work so I didn't try . I used a box cutter blade the last time.
I think my biggest issue is that they're packed in oil and hard to hold

Not sure I understand either! They're in oil and just seem kinda tough, and so slippery

Scissors might work

I should some for food

I got them from Trader Joes in a small jar. They really add a ton of flavor--I had some dried ones years back that were bad and I never tried them again till recently

Stick a fork into them when cutting.
