SO HOW'D IT GO?
Amazing is all I can say!!I substituted raw cashews for the almonds, tomato sauce for the tomatoes and had no onion power...I made two batches, one for the filing in my breakfast tofu/potato scramble burritos and the other is in the fridge waiting to be placed on steamed broccoli..woohooo
This is a great recipe! I used cashews instead of almonds and pimentos instead of tomatoes. I put this on a number of things, but it was REALLY good on baked potatoes. Thanks!
I love this Cheez!! I use a whole cup of cashews instead of almonds and a little less sea salt (not a huge salt fan) and cornstarch. It's amazing with macaroni, as a dip, spread... anything! I make it all the time and it's gone within days (and I'm the only one who eats it :P).
Yummmmm!! So I'm not ashamed to say that I burned my tongue...twice because I couldn't wait to try this lol. I poured it over some leftover pasta I made last night...I'm such a college student lol.
I had to use grape tomatoes and granulated onion because I didn't have what the recipe called for. I'm not sure if that made much of a difference or not, but this was still goooood!
We tell no one of this! haha jk ;)b
It would be fine for everything except the nuts. Those are what need to be ground up, so if you have a way to grind those to a powder (in a coffee grinder, perhaps?), you'll be fine!
It's alright, I'll figure something out. Thanks for the help! :)
Is it possible to make this without a blender? If I whisk it REALLY hard?

Is there a way to make this without nuts? My friend is somewhat allergic to them, but I know she would love something like this. Please help? :-\
Great tasting and oh so easy...try it!!
My mods:
I used sunflower seeds instead of almonds and grinded the seeds in my coffee grinder first. I also used an immersion blender in the same pot I used to cook it.....really easy. Took me about 15 minutes from start to finish. Put it over steamed carrots, broccoli and pasta. Thanks!!
Really great recipe!! I used this cheese sauce to make a 'cheesy potato casserole' dish from vegweb and it was fantastic. I used sunflower seeds and oatmeal in place of the almonds and am SO PLEASED with the way this looked and tasted! This will be my 'go to' recipe for cheese sauce from now on for everything from veggies to mac and cheese.
