I stumbled on this recipe and we decided to try it out…OMG!
SO good….cheesy and creamy…and super simple to make.

Best Ever Vegan Cheese Sauce

2 cups of water
¼ cup chopped fresh tomatoes
¼ cup raw almonds
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ tablespoon sea salt
½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons corn starch
¼ cup nutritional yeast

Blend all ingredients in blender until very smooth. 
Pour into a sauce pan and heat until thick, whisking consistently.

This is amazing! As it cools it gets thick like cheddar soup.

Versatile Vegan Creamy Herb Topping





















So, we were having veggie burgers the other night and I felt like having something creamy and herb-like on top of mine. After doing a quick recipe search online, I created this super simple spread. It hit the spot…and worked as a yummy dip for our fries too!
I put the remainder (covered) in the fridge and it became even more flavorful the next day

Versatile Vegan Creamy Herb Topping

½ Cup Softened Vegan Cream Cheese
½ Cup Vegan Sour Cream
1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
½ Teaspoon Onion Powder
¼ - ½ Teaspoon dried Dill
Sea Salt to taste

Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl and then add sea salt to taste.

You could really add any herbs that you like…it is a nice blank canvas.

Super Simple Creamy Vegan Pesto




















I was craving something creamy and fresh last night and I whipped up this vegan version of a creamy pesto sauce. It was yummy and super simple! Let me know what you think...

Super Simple Creamy Vegan Pesto

A large bunch of fresh basil, washed
2 cloves of garlic
About 6 tablespoons of walnuts
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
2-3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
8 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons of vegan sour cream
2 tablespoons of vegan parmesan “cheese”

Process the first 5 ingredients in a food processor until creamy. Add the last 3 ingredients and continue processing until blended. Serve as a sauce over warm pasta, as a dip for veggies (especially tomatoes!) or as a spread for sandwiches or crackers.
