Nachos? Yes, please! Nachos are one of those things that I just need in my life. Dollops of this delicious spreadable cashew cheese are perfect for nachos.

Creamy salad dressings are kind of my jive. I love them so much that I make them at least a few times a week. Normally I don’t worry about following a recipe. I just throw cashews, hemp hearts, or pine nuts in a blender with some water and seasonings and trust that it will turn […]
I love avocado! I swear I could eat it with everything. I’ve been really into eating guacamole with slices of cucumber lately – so much lighter and still so tasty. Sometimes I’m in the mood for guacamole, but I’m also craving something a little more substantial. That’s where this avocado salsa comes in. Chunky, hearty, […]
