Easy Nacho “Cheese” Dip (Vegan+GF)
I didn’t think it could be done…… A cheese-less cheese sauce my friends, it’s real, it’s possible, and you can easily do it for yourself. You may be familiar with this kind of thing already, or you might be thinking “What do you do you even start with to make something like this?” You ready for it? It’s actually a dip based on cashews! The ingredients are similar to what I made this mac and cheese with a while back but it’s way easier. Let me just tell you that, only a few years, ago I wasn’t familiar with this concept at all. Even then, the first time I did…

Creamy Mushroom & Broccoli Gnocchi (Vegan+GF)
How have the first few days of your year been so far? Have you been staying on top of those New Year’s resolutions? You know, because I definitely have (shifts eyes downward guiltily)………..yeah definitely. So okay, maybe I’ve already rearranged some of my originally listed things that sounded like such a good idea a week ago and traded them with some more realistic goals, but I guess that’s better than nothing right? I won’t go as far as to say I believe it’s impossible for you to have your own things in order either, but come on, this is real life and therefore you probably don’t. Am I right? I mean,…

Spicy “Cheddar” Chili Queso Dip (Vegan+GF)
Some of my absolute favorite recipes are the ones that remind me of different people and times in my life. I’m guessing it’s the same for you. What is it about a specific taste or smell that can immediately put you in a favorite memory, it’s crazy? So even though this dip is a pretty simple, and also fairly generic, recipe I still feel like it’s worth sharing for those of you who haven’t had it. Growing up, it was pretty often that my dad, or my uncle who lived next door at the time, to invite some guys over to watch a UFC fight or a football game. I’m…

Creamy Zucchini Penne Pasta (Vegan+GF)
Oh my gosh, I’ve been getting my seasons so confused recently. It’s technically still winter where I live but at the same time it’s summer where I’m at. Then there’s the fact that most of the recipes I’m working on right now are starting to be geared for autumn and the holidays because crazy people like me have to start planning these things months ahead. Ha, and I used to think that seeing Halloween displays in stores anytime before October was pushing it. Then I’m also working on a project that’s for summer. I’m seriously going to lose my mind soon with all these seasons. Gringa problems, ay ay ay!…

Fettuccine Alfredo Primavera Pasta (Vegan+GF)
I think I have officially topped myself on easiest meals ever! Okay, I guess I should clarify that. If you were planning to hit a drive-through or pop a frozen dinner in the microwave then that is technically going to be an easier dinner. When I say easy I mean by the standard of someone who makes almost everything from scratch. I made this in under 45 minutes and it’s highly improvable! I just really wanted to make a pasta recipe that still had lots of veggies and flavor, but didn’t dirty every dish in the kitchen. You know? Granted, this still uses a handful of dishes, but I guess…

Creamy Corn Chowder + Rye Bread Bowls (Vegan)
So have you had an awesome Summer? Well, my summer has been pretty great so far and I’m really excited to see what comes next. Okay, about the recipe. I have been wanting to make bread bowls for what seems like such a long time! I mean, who doesn’t love getting to eat the bowl when the soup is gone? Plus, it looks so pretty and rustic when you serve it. And I don’t know about you, but I have always loved corn chowder. I think I should mention that my soup was not quite as corny and thick as it looks in the pictures. That is due to me…
