Nacho Cheez!

I'm back! Two weddings, three events and the general chaos of life has subsided (kind of) and I'm back to the blogosphere! Yay!

Nacho night is one of my fave nights. I bought Yves new soy free veggie ground round with pea protein and figured the best way to try it out would be spiced into oblivion with veggies from our garden. And then I had a hankering for nacho cheez sauce. You know the kind that you see at the 7-11, except minus the plastic-y look. Without further adieu...

Nacho Cheez Sauce

1 cup hot water

1 cup raw cashews

3/4 cup nooch (nutritional yeast)

1.5 tsp salt

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp pimento, drained

1/2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder 

1 tsp smoked paprika 

1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tbsp tapioca starch

1 whole jalapeño, diced 

Blend well in a high powered blender with nut blade attachment and voila! Creamy, tangy, spicy cheez sauce!
