Baking and Recipes / Best Caramel Recipe | Easy Recipe | Barns and Noodles. How to Roast Cashews | The Celsius1414 Journal. I was casting around for recipes on how to roast raw cashews, either in an oven or on a stove. The ingredient list on a typical can of cashews was starting to get me down, and nuts (in moderation) are both one of my favorite snacks and healthy, too.

The googling wasn’t going very well, or rather I had to do quite a bit of keyword finagling to find anything useful. One site I found was this Nuts page. (Tangent 2: my initial Google difficulties might have been a terminology issue, roasted vs toasted.)

It may not seem like a big deal to some, but for this food allergic foodie…it was nothing short of a Christmas miracle! Having this little gem of a recipe allowed me to make a corn-free, dairy/casein-free, egg-free and soy-free Ranch dressing on Christmas day to go along with my veggie tray…which meant my kids ate their green veggies without protest! My in-laws: “Tastes like ranch…but what is it really?” Luke: it wasn’t so much what he said, but the fact that he was scooping handfuls into his mouth was a pretty good indication that I nailed it on taste! Before I can share the dressing recipe however, I need to share this recipe for mayo since it is a vital component of the Ranch dressing. Before I go any further though, I need to say that this recipe would not have been possible were it not for the phenomenal Carol Fenster, Ph.D. Appendix A: Baking without Conventional Ingredients Appendix C: Converting Butter to Oil Good Luck!

Ranch Dressing: Corn-Free, Dairy/Casein-Free, Egg-Free and Soy-Free. I don’t know about you, but I LOVE Ranch dressing! I love it on my salads, I love it as a veggie dipping sauce (okay, the veggies are really more of a Ranch delivery vehicle), I love to dip pizza in it and…(close your eyes)…I LOVE to dip my medium-rare grass fed beef tenderloin in it! Shameful huh? You can take the girl out of the dairy, but you can’t take the Ranch dressing out of the girl! So, I shared with you the other day that I was finally able to whip up a corn-free, egg-free and soy-free mayo (thanks to the legendary Carol Fenster!).
