This ooey, gooey, cheesy sauce can be the base to so many of your favorite meals; macaroni & cheese, nacho cheese, queso dip, green bean casserole, and/or simply eaten plain! The base of this sauce is just carrots, potatoes, and yellow onion — that’s it! You can also add soaked cashews for an extra creamy affect and some healthy fat.
Simply sweet, spicy, and crunchy; ahh perfection. On warm Summer days I enjoy making meals that require little prep time and virtually no cooking time. This is that meal.

My stomach has been acting up…I blame it mostly on eating out over the weekend…but don’t get me wrong, I love to eat out!… But sometimes, no matter where you go, if it’s not homemade – you face the consequences.

The food was great and surely satisfying, but my stomach hasn’t been so happy about it… So – for Monday nights dinner I wanted to make something that would one, be easy on my stomach, and two, something that would be filling post workout.
For dinner I made my Garden Fresh Rolls – an array of vegetables wrapped in delicious collard greens (instead of rice paper) and dipped in a gluten-free, vegan peanut sauce, and paired alongside a nice steamy bowl of Miso-Ginger Ramen…mmmm.
All things yum and extremely easy.

I grew up on Kraft, Annie’s, and in my high-school days, Velvetta <— this stuff is seriously “liquid gold” – but my goodness, a heart-attack waiting to happen. Good thing those days are over. Ever since I went gluten-free and dairy-free, back in May 2012, I have longed for a good mac & cheese substitute…. Ladies & gentleman, my prayers have been answered. Let me introduce you to my new friend….
Heidi Ho’s Creamy Chia Cheeze — it’s a 100% plant-based, vegan, & gluten-free cheeze sauce and/or spred. Continue reading
