Cheese. Yummy. Love, comfort, flavor, dee-lish, calories, fat, digestive issues, oh my!
If you’re like me, you love cheese. If you’re like me, you care about your health. I’m on a mission to find the perfect Alfredo sauce for me and my three (selective) children. Through my pursuit, I’ve come across a recipe care of the fabulous Kris Carr, cancer survivor and woman extraordinaire. Made with raw cashews, pine nuts and some other simple ingredients, this recipe is completely dairy free and vegan (if that’s your thang). I’m going to be making this lovely looking dish this week, with the addition of broccoli – because that’s how I like my Alfredo! Be sure to check back with UBCF for a complete review care of me and my three “Men in Training”. Don’t be shy, try this Alfredo out yourself and let us know what you think!
Amazing Alfredo
Yield: 4 serving
