37 Weeks

Dear Sweet Pea-

My goodness this week has been a whirlwind.  It started off great with Thanksgiving until I poisoned us and we ended up severely ill and in OB triage for fluids the next day to keep you nice and safe.  I spent the rest of the week resting up and finishing projects around the house.  It finally hit me that you will be here in sheer days and I need to finalize all the things I want before you arrive.  Why it has taken this long for that to occur to me is odd, I know.  Also, heartburn and feet swelling both turned up this week hardcore--yikes.  We also started going weekly to the doctor but I have barely started to dilate and you're still pretty high up.  Which is fine!  I need these extra days to finish your wall decorations and rest before you have me up all night with feedings.  I am so looking forward to breastfeeding, it is such a magical experience.  Keep baking, we will hold you soon!

Love,
Mommy

Cashew Cheese

I've been experimenting with this fake cheese recipe for a while. Spiral Diner, a local vegan restaurant, has a killer version they pour over their nachos and that's where my baseline came from. I found a few recipes from the super bland to the still not quite there . Mine isn't identical, but I just ruined my dinner dipping chips into the bowl, so there's that. I make mine in my food processor, but if you have a Vitamix or a Blendtec that's probably going to make the smoothest end product. Cashew "Cheese" 1 Cup Cashews  1/2 Cup Homemade Chicken Stock* 1/2 Cup Boiling Water 2/3 Cup Nutritional Yeast  flakes 2 Tsp Yellow Mustard 1 Tsp Tumeric 1 Tsp Garlic Powder 1 Tsp Onion Powder 1 Tsp Smoked Paprika  1/2 Tsp Salt To prepare your cashews either soak in a bowl of water overnight or bring to a boil and simmer on the stove for 15 minutes.  Strain cashews and add all ingredients to your blender. Blend until smooth, scraping sides down a few times to ensure...
