Cashew Chocolate Spread

Cashew chocolate spread is basically nuttella (or any other hazelnut spread) except for the fact that its base ingredient is cashew, whereas in hazelnut spread is hazelnut (DUH!). This is in many ways better than hazelnut spread, for one, it can produce a better-textured spread, so it spreads at more ease. In many areas, hazelnut spreads  and even hazelnuts aren't easily available, and cashews are easily available so this is a good replacement.

Silky dip

This had started off with just an experiment. I bought silken tofu instead of regular tofu but had no idea where to use it. After I came home, I was tired and my kids were hungry. I tried to think of something that was fast to make. So, I took out the blender and started adding what I felt would go well together and that's pretty much how I ended up with this dip and when I asked kids to try it, they were frowning, thinking that how much better can you make tofu taste but any way they tried a tiny bit, as if it was poison, the next moment, they had a big smiles and an amazed look on their faces and they said, "Wow! fantastic, you must post this recipe on your blog." So here it is...
