Bomb A** Vegan Queso

This was an immediate favorite of mine, so flippin’ good. I didn’t have to soak the cashews either (a lot of cashew recipes call for that) so this baby was ready in under five minutes. Hell yeah. Also, a little added bonus, less than 10 ingredients mf. It has the perfect seasoning and nutritional yeast balance that really ties everything together, giving you a great alternative cheese recipe! So get your butt in the kitchen and give it a try. It’s perfect for gatherings(football vegan apps) and great to top on your favorite nacho recipe. Borrowed from Garlic Head, and made by the lovely Emily.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cashews, unroasted
  • 1/4 cup chunky mild salsa (red or green, not very watery)
  • 1 Tbsp taco seasoning (alternatively, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, pinch of salt)
  • 3 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 jalapeño pepper

Instructions:

  1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and combine with 1/3 cup of water. Let blend on medium until full incorporated. To make even more creamy, add 1/4 cup more water and blend until completely soft.
  2. Taste and add more seasonings as you like! I love adding more nutritional yeast and some jalapeño if serving to a spice-loving crowd.

Tasty A** Guacamole

Trying to stay busy during all this quarantine time, one of my goals is to focus on posting more… keeping it simple with this one. Guacamole b*tches. A tasty ass dip that I always eat too much of.

Ingredients:

  • 4 avocados
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1 roma tomato, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp salt & pepper (more if needed)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 large lime

Instructions:

  1. Halve avocados, de-seed, scrape out into a medium sized bowl, and mash with a fork. Add the rest of the ingredients, except half of the lime, and stir. It’s ready to eat! If there are leftovers or you’re making this ahead, squeeze the rest of the lime over the guac so it doesn’t get brown and nasty.
