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 learn about such…

Homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Butter “Nutella” (Vegan+GF)
Next time someone tells you that spending Monday afternoon making homemade Nutella isn’t the best plan ever, tell them just how wrong they are by giving them a taste of this! So I don’t think it’s any secret that chocolate is a huge friend of mine. ;p Well, nutella is definitely on the list of chocolatey good things that I loved as a kid. Here’s the thing though, have you ever looked at the ingredients list on the back of the package? It’s got a bunch of that just shouldn’t be in it like vegetable oil. I mean, if it’s just chocolate hazelnut butter, shouldn’t it be basically just that? Just some…

Baked Yam Fries with Sriracha Hummus (Vegan + GF)
And just like that the weekend is over. But don’t distress too much, there’s french fries! Okay, technically these are baked and they aren’t really your typical fries, but still, same difference right? Before I get into that too much, let me fill you in on some life stuff that’s come up recently. Actually, I feel like I’ve left a lot of things unmentioned about my family and personal life because, well, I think everyone can understand that hard line between cyberspace and real life. It’s hard to navigate sometimes, especially when it involves other people’s lives, you know? For example, I can’t go around announcing big news on the internet when it’s…

Roasted Veggie Sweet Potato Power Bowls + Yogurt Tahini Sauce
Wow, it’s Friday already???? I have no clue what happened to this week, but it flew by. Sorry I’m freaking out a little bit but today marks the 1 week countdown until Christmas eve, eve! Did you realize that???? I know this happens every year, and I do this same thing every year, but I’m being completely honest when I say that I’ve never had a Christmas sneak up on me like this one. I’m both extremely excited and slightly sad that it’s so close to being passed us. Not to mention I still have so many things to get done this next week, as I’m sure you do too. We clearly have all…

Easy Raspberry Jalapeno Dip & Homemade Wheat Thins
Did you all have a really great weekend? I hope so, I had one of the best ever! This was my first Christmas as an aunty and also my last one as a teenager (omg, that’s kinda sad ;( ). My nephew was so cute opening his first presents ever, absolutely adorable and hilarious at the same time. Anyone have plans for New Year’s? Is it just me or is it a very anti-climatic holiday after the hype of Christmas? I’ve always thought so. We don’t have any traditions or anything special that we do as a family. Most years we just spend the weekend trying to cram in replays of our favorite…
