Completed my dressing! 
I've never used cashews for anything like this, so I was a bit taken aback. I think "cashew cream" is a misnomer, because this looks nothing like any cream I've ever seen....
<---- 
More like a Play-doh-esque cashew glob. LOL
But I continued on, added everything else, and then something magical happened....
<---- Huh... I'll be damned. 
Smells great, too!
It's not exactly like ranch (wish I'd had fresh herbs), but it's still very tasty! And I know it's WAY healthier than any bottled crap!
The dressing is not gritty like the red pepper/walnut dip, but it is a little grainy. Not much I can do about that, my processor did its best.
Extra bonus... I've got a leftover blob of cashew stuff in a bag in the fridge that I might try to turn into some sort of "cheese"....

I made more gnocchi...this may end up being a regular Sunday thing.
I'll have to try that! Did you use tahini? I'd probably use miso as I don't really care for tahini.Completed my dressing!

I made a great cheese ball that started with a cashew paste like that. It used some refined coconut oil that made all the difference! Found it--
Kick Ace Extra Sharp Raw Vegan Holiday Cheddar Cheese Ball. Virtual Vegan Potluck Edition.
I know I took some liberties-like using too much garlic! Would be great with wine vinegar! The refined coconut oil has no taste and really set it up to be creamy and spreadable

I had no miso. I did use organic tahini. Ohhh, I've forgotten how tasty tahini is... I took great pleasure in licking the tablespoon after I added it. LOL
But I definitely need to need to check out that cheese-ball site....

Well, I took my lentil bolognese-type sauce out of the freezer, got that pretty well thawed... I'm gonna throw that in a saucepan to continue, make some adjustments with spices, nooch, kale, etc.... While that's going, I'll boil a bag of brown rice in the microwave & prep my two red bell peppers....
I'm gonna make vegan stuffed peppers!!
OMG, I haven't had stuffed peppers since I still ate ground beef! LMAO And I gave that crap up more than a year before I was still eating poultry. So, what, three or four years since I ate a stuffed pepper?? That's far too long.
Needless to say, I am very much looking forward to tonight's dinner.
I plan to just prep everything & get it ready to go, put the peppers in the fridge... that way I can just pop 'em in the oven when I get home.

All my chickpea cutlets I made yesterday are gone They were too good to last.
I have a packed freezer with a bag of Gardein fillets and frozen fries! Perfect day to turn on the oven as it is chilllllly.
Stuffeed peppers sound so good! I hope I can be successful growing peppers this year. I never had any luck.

I'm jealous of anyone who can grow anything.... I can't take credit for the onion shoots, they do that on their own. LOL
Just to be clear, I agreed to the bold part of your post, not that you shouldn't get credit for the onion shoots, lol.I'm jealous of anyone who can grow anything.... I can't take credit for the onion shoots, they do that on their own. LOL
OMG...Beyond Meat crumbles will be perfect for stuffed peppers...with rice or cous cous!Well, I took my lentil bolognese-type sauce out of the freezer, got that pretty well thawed...

No, no, none of that kind of stuff for me....
But you start rockin' out some peppers with that, let us know how it all turns out! And take pics!

And I thought about couscous instead of rice... I have SO much couscous left! When I still ate eggs, I used to mix cooked couscous into already-cooking whipped eggs (in a skillet)... it would make, essentially, a large egg/couscous patty (held together beautifully), I'd cut it in half & make a sandwich.... wow, those were good. But the last time I made one I used veggie no-chicken broth to cook the couscous, and the end result was too meat-like for me.... it tasted like a chicken sandwich! Maybe I should put that in the tips/hints thread.... if that was enough to convince me, perhaps others (who dig the fake meats/analogs/I-don't-know-what-to-call-them) should really give it a whirl.... I mean, I was convinced I was eating chicken. Yeah, I know, technically I was.... that was then.

The first time I made vegan stuffed peppers I used cous cous and loved it! It's funny...I don't eat peppers, lol, but I like the flavor. Weird, right? If I can get the skin off, which usually is pretty easy once they are cooked, I like a little bit of it. So I usually just eat the stuffed part.
I want to try it with the crumbles to keep the carbs down and protein up. Cous cous is a killer carb. I did try quinoa, once, and it was good but not like the cous cous. So this time I'll do crumbles with some chopped veggies and a bit of rice. I may even throw in some tofu!
It will probably take awhile before I actually do it. I never made the chickpea salad, lol. *shame* I chopped the celery and onion already, too. In case you haven't noticed, I've become quite the procrastinator, haha.

I make mine with soya mince and ground almonds as I medium carb. I also use some olive oil and soya cream to bind.
How are the crumbles? I haven't much liked any other crumbles or TVP that I've tried. They just seem really bland.

Picante sauce! 
Drained & rinsed the roasted red peppers, gonna throw those in the food processor with a large can of crushed tomatoes, some red onion, some baby kale, ground cumin, ground chipotle, cilantro, garlic powder, nooch, even have Mrs. Dash spicy jalapeño....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, that was fast.... Now what? LOL
Wow, that one batch filled three & a half 12-ounce jars... I'll bring one for Jer, have one for me, and of course, leave one for my father. That man sure does looove his salsa....
