Pumpkin Cashew Parmesan Dip

17 Feb

Well my dearies:

I cannot seem to find a way to make this dip appear bee-you-tiful. I do not have any pretty blogging bowls at the moment and it doesn’t help that this dip is camera-shy.

But what it lacks in photography it make up for in taste ;) . Promise

This dip will change your world.

A little too overzealous?

Maybs.

Pumpkin Cashew Parmesan Dip

  • 1.5~2 cups Cashews (depending on how much you add towards the end)
  • 1 T Oil
  • S & P to taste
  • 1.5 T Cumin
  • ¾ c Pumpkin
  • 1 t  minced garlic
  • 3 T Parmesan
  1. Grind cashews in a food processor until you get a ‘meal’
  2. Add all other ingredients and mix until desired consistency is reached
  3. Add in some more cashews at the end  if you want some chunk in there. (optional)

If you want to veganize this I know there are a few varieties of vegan parm out there. Or you can make Ashley’s vegan parmesan cheeze. I’m sure that would work great too!

This dip is more dense then hummus. Go grab some crackers or crudites and get dippin!

For Dinner I was HANGRY.

After a long day of classes, two exams, and a career fair, my craving was full-throttle

Sweet ‘n’ Spicy

Flatbread Pizza: Spinach Flatbread base, Spicy Barbeque Sauce as the ‘sauce’

Toppings: Diced Onion, Tomato, Red Pepper, Black Beans, Feta and Pineapple!

Baked at 350 for 20 minutes (or until the edges begin to brown)

You should also be able to smell when its ready as the pineapple begins to caramelize.

The Sweet ‘n’ Spicy combo was soo good

Especially since that sauce is super spicy it needed some sweet to balance the flavors.

After I finished this off (kept me full for ages!) I did some google-readering only to see Mama Pea made an almost identical “pizza”

It’s a small blog world out there.

Ta!

    Whoa, that looks good! I’ve never tried pineapple on a pizza, because it always has ham on it. I’m intrigued by your flavor combos!

      My brother always gets hawaiian pizza on football sunday and I can never eat it cos of the ham too! But the pineapple always smells so delish

    Um…so pumpkin and cashews are my two favorite things ever…after chocolate and all that other stuff…so LOVE!

    I’ve never been able to do the pita pizza thing – I give in to a ‘real’ crust everytime…sigh ;)

      Thanks Olivia! The only downside to flatout wraps are when I go a little to overboard on the toppins ;) Things tend to get messy
      But this particular one was just the right amount
