    I've got a food processor at home. How would you make either of those, they sound really good. :love:

    For a batch, I put 2 cups of cashews in my processor (I use unsalted and add my own if I choose) and grind them up pretty fine (I kind of like mine a little crunchy). While the processor is running, I add canola oil (you can use others but that was all I had and I liked it so I keep using it) until it is at the consistency you want ( I usually use no more than 2 Tablespoons, usually less). I put it in a container in the fridge overnight before I eat it (just a preference). I have these little portion cups with lids I got from Gordon's and I measure out 2 Tbls for each. That way I can just grab one for my lunch with celery or to put on a whole wheat bagel or whatever. There is really not much difference in calories doing it yourself but there are also no preservatives or additives and I like the fact that I can use as much salt and/or oil as I want.
