Wow cashews in a smoothie sounds great. I need a food processor, although I suppose I could just use cashew butter..

Hi Sara, I love how the cashews made it creamy. I’m sure you could sub the cashew butter, although depending on what is in it, it may give it more of nutty flavor.

I’m taste-testing some cranberry sauce. It’s on my blog.
I mean, I always make it and I’ve been eating it and I will eat it tomorrow.
Cool smoothie! I love tempeh!
Happy Thanksgiving and WIAW!

Prof Veg, I wish I would have seen your recipe before making my cranberry sauce Monday. I used a different recipe than the usual, and it came out too runny. I ended up adding more sugar, a cornstarch mixture and cooking longer. It finally came out to an acceptable consistency, but I still had to pour off some of the liquid. I figure we’ll use it as a pancake syrup this weekend.

Where do you get your inspiration for post ideas? I’ve been thinking of coming up with my own blog but don’t know if I could write as good as you. Any tips for a newbie to the blogging world?
