Lovin' some cheese straws.

Ingredients

• 4 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup arrowroot (the recipe actually calls for cornstarch but I do not believe that anyone should be putting corn in their mouths -unless it is straight out of the garden, gmo free, ORGANIC)
• 1/3 cup potato starch
• 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (or guar gum -a less expensive substitute works jsut as well)
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 tablespoons cream

   Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
