However, since that popular dip is cashew-based, I wanted to create a recipe that was nut-free and lower in calories for those who want an even healthier dairy-free alternative. Rather than relying on nuts for creaminess, this queso gets its silky texture from sweet potatoes! When combined with Rotel-style tomatoes and green chiles, along with the right seasonings, sweet potatoes become surprisingly creamy and create a satisfying dip that is even properly combined when served with baked tortilla chips....

A few months ago I discovered Frank’s hot sauce. Yep, I know they’ve been around for awhile now but I am not one that likes spicy food so that Tabasco sauce was hardly ever used. But I’ve been seeing the commercials on TV and thought they were cute so I bought it. To my pleasant surprise I really liked it, it taste so much better than Tabasco. I also noticed that they have many different kinds of hot sauces so we got a few different types of bottles....

Thandai is a traditional Indian drink that is especially popular during the festival of Holi, the Festival of Colors which is celebrated during the springtime. It’s not Holi without passing around the Thandai! Since it’s a cooling drink, it’s also a popular drink to beat the heat during hot weather in India. It is a refreshing and cooling drink, often associated with North Indian cuisine. Thandai is known for its unique combination of ingredients, including nuts, seeds, and spices, which contribute to its distinct flavor when steeped in milk....

What’s special about this recipe is that you don’t need any specialty ingredients to make it– not even nutritional yeast, which typically adds a “cheesy” flavor. This recipe is naturally gluten-free and will quickly become one of your favorite vegan cheese recipes. Especially since it’s so fast to prepare! Ingredients You’ll Need This nacho cheese sauce gets its creaminess from raw cashews, rather than using cornstarch or other thickeners. Canned green chiles and a few jarred jalapeño slices give the sauce an amazing flavor without needing to boil or chop anything....

This post is brought to you in partnership with Litehouse, Inc.! Although I’ve been compensated for my time, all opinions are 100% my own. Chicken wings are the ultimate party food which is why they’re so perfect for the Big Game. I made these wings extra special by brushing them with some Litehouse Chunky Blue Cheese dressing to give them extra blue cheese flavor, then I served these with my special baked blue cheese dip....

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Tip: Rinsing the tortellini with cold water stops the cooking process and cools them down for the salad. In a large bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1 cup mozzarella pieces, 1 cup diced salami, ½ cup sliced black olives, ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion, ¼ cup chopped fresh basil, and ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley....

Onions have long been a cornerstone of diverse cuisines worldwide, from Indian cooking to Mediterranean cuisine, contributing to their unique savory depth.

Unlike my original cauliflower pizza crust, this recipe uses ground flax as a binder instead of eggs. Flax eggs are made by simply stirring together freshly ground seeds and water to make a gluey, egg-like replacement, but since cauliflower is already loaded with so much moisture, we’re using much less water in this recipe to account for that. This gives you a drier pizza crust that you can hold with your hands....

You can make it in 5 minutes, and use it on pizza, toast, and oven-baked pasta. It’s perfect on food that goes in the oven, as it melts like mozzarella cheese.

They’re called Peanut Butter Temptations, and the original recipe is found on the back of the bag of Reese’s mini peanut butter cups. As soon as I tried one of these cookies, I was hooked. How can a soft peanut butter cookie stuffed with a chocolate covered peanut butter cup be anything but delicious? Early on in our relationship, these cookies would grace every birthday and holiday we could think of....

Vegan French Toast Recipe All you need to make this Vegan French Toast is your favorite bread (many breads are naturally vegan, but be sure to check the label!), milk or water, and an egg substitute. I like to add a little maple syrup and ground cinnamon for flavor, but that’s totally optional. You’ll also need oil or vegan butter for greasing the pan. I used olive oil in my cast iron skillet, which worked very well....

Up to this point, I have been taking a gradual approach to an elimination diet, eliminating just one to two allergens each week to see if we saw any improvements with our baby’s symptoms. I mostly did it this way because I love eating a variety of foods, and I didn’t want to cut out more than I had to! However, I haven’t seen any major improvements since the very first week that I cut out wheat and dairy– even after progressively cutting out other common allergens like soy, corn, peanuts, eggs, tree nuts and chocolate....

BLOOD ORANGES True to their name, blood oranges have an interior flesh ranging from light orange with a streak of red to vibrant deep pink to dark red wine. Blood oranges owe their gorgeous coloring to anthocyanins, the same naturally occurring pigments that make blueberries blue. Depending on the blood orange variety, their peels may be tinged with a reddish blush and sizewise are often smaller than regular navel oranges. Not all peels have this reddish coloring, however, so be sure to ask the farmer!...

The arrival of spring means the arrival of produce that you’ll only find this time of year. Consider it the season of limited edition veggies. There’s nothing like fresh artichokes, asparagus, and spring onions, which may only have a few weeks of availability. Citrus, especially the gorgeous pink cara cara orange, is still growing strong. It’s often said that “what grows together, goes together” and I find this to be especially true about the produce during the spring!...

My children’s favorite pizza is a classic cheese pizza and this sauce is perfect because it has so much flavor with the garlic and parmesan that you don’t need anything but a generous layer of mozzarella cheese over it....

I could drink this broth all day. As a matter of fact, I did. I get that it’s strange to be craving curry noodles in the mid-afternoon, but I found myself wanting a sip of this liquid gold at approximately 4:30pm last Thursday. Actually, it could have been 4:28pm, but you get the picture. On a cold, rainy day, or whenever I’m feeling uninspired in the kitchen, I can always rely on a good curried noodle soup to bring me a sense of comfort....
