Super Easy Vegan Nachos

My husband is a lover of Mexican food.  Vegan nachos are his thing.  In fact, when we go to our favorite vegan restaurant here in Dallas, he always orders the big nacho plate.  He created these vegan nachos with that in mind.  I promise these vegan nachos will not disappoint.  They are also very easy!  We used our homemade vegan cheese sauce that is cashew based and totally awesome!

Blueberry Vanilla Cashew Trail Mix

About a year ago, I came up with a recipe for copycat KIND bars.  The KIND bar recipe that I created was modeled after the trail mix brand.  It’s been on my mind to create another KIND bar recipe ever since.  So the other day I attempted another.  This one was for the Blueberry Vanilla Cashew flavor.  Well mine didn’t exactly hold together well, but the flavor was AMAZING so I had to share it in the form of trail mix.

No Bake Nut Free Cookies

I know a lot of you have kids with nut allergies.  So I thought I would make a no bake nut free cookie for you.  These are perfect to take to schools that have a nut free policy.  These nut free cookies only take minutes to make and taste super good.  I made them with sunflower seeds.  You can use this nut free cookie recipe as a base and add in whatever extra flavors you may like.

Simple Roasted Pepitas

Did you know that eating something salty can curb a sweet tooth?  I swear it works.  I keep roasted pepitas on hand all the time for that very reason. If you don’t know what pepitas are, they are the inside part of a pumpkin seed.  Roasted pepitas have such great flavor.  Pepitas are also a great source of magnesium and omega 3 fatty acid.  When made in this fashion, they can be quite addicting.  My kids love them as well.
