It’s that time of year filled with cocktails, wine, COOKIES, and just temptation everywhere!!
Listen I may be a health and fitness coach BUT I AM HUMAN!! I enjoy life and don't deprive myself but I am smart about it. I will usually forgo any of the desserts and drink wine because Id rather have that. That’s just me though.
The other evening I had a little get together at my house with my sisters and a couple friends. I made a taco bar with all the fixins and the girls brought dips. We had some good food, good wine, and ended up dancing off all the calories we ate and drank anyways. Always a good time when you have a girls night. (Not my finest moment and using Playstation VR remotes as microphones ... NBD)
But my point of this post is because I love me a good queso blanco dip (Moe’s has a really good one!) but not the calories that come with it! Since doing my plant based cleanse I incorporated those practices into my recipes and meal plans. I found a recipe for a plant based queso blanco and thought uhh this cant be good CAN IT?! It had all the ingredients a good queso would have MINUS THE CHEESE! The secret ingredient -- CASHEWS AND A POTATO!
Insane right?! Stick with me here.
The base of this dip is cashews, cashew milk, and a boiled potato. That is what gives the dip body. Then you add in chopped chilies, jarred jalapenos, some seasonings, and boil the shit out of it until its thick and gooey like a traditional cheese sauce.
Now I am biased because I made it and thought it taste yummy. But the real test was getting OTHER people to try it. My lovely friend who is very picky when it comes to food tried it and while she said it didnt taste like cheese it was really good!
So if you find yourself needing something for a party in the next coming weeks I DARE you to make this!! It is so good and it’s fun fooling people!!
I am not the brains behind this recipe but you can find it here!!
Doesn't that look so good!!!
Enjoy!
