Vegan Nachos

In time for the Super Bowl this weekend, I am releasing my Vegan Nachos Recipe. Nachos are easily modified, and I expect I will post other combinations in the future because switching out ingredients can make a big difference. However, this attempt is perfect for this weekend's game. I use my queso batch and a can of refried beans, chips, and even zucchini to make this delicious recipe.  Please like, share, and follow for more content! And enjoy game day even if that looks a little bit different this year.

Vegan Queso

In the vegan world, potatoes + carrots + cashews = something like cheese. I used these ingredients plus a few others to make my form of vegan queso.  I start by dicing some potatoes and carrots. I add the potatoes, carrots, and cashews to a pot to boil until fork tender. Then I strain them and add them to a food processor with the remaining ingredients.  Once blended, this makes a delicious, spreadable queso sauce that is perfect as a dipping sauce, for nachos, or with a little bit of vegetable broth, it can be made into a mac and cheeze sauce.  I anticipate making other varieties of queso as I continue to develop my cooking skills, but this will be my first Vegan Queso recipe.  Please like, share, and follow for more content!

Easy, Vegan Sandwich

Sometimes I do not feel like cooking a new recipe or having something elaborate for meals, and that is okay. For this Easy, Vegan Sandwich I took a trip to Trader Joe's and picked out a few things that I thought would go together. Ciabatta bread is my favorite Trader Joe's bread, so I decided to use that as the base. I also bought a veggie patty, vegan bruschetta sauce, and vegan kale pesto. The presentation is not the prettiest, but the flavor combination is great.  Please like, share, and follow for more content.
