  Tonight I made vegan nachos, which is something I make nearly every week because it's such an easy meal. If you are ever trying to be dairy-free I have an awesome vegan nacho cheese sauce recipe to share. I raised a skeptical brow the first time I saw some of these recipes out there but with a little tweaking to get it how I liked it, I have to say, it will pose for cheese if you need it to. 
  

  Vegan Cheese Sauce

  2 cup boiled, peeled potatoes,

  1 carrot, peeled 

  1/2 cup water

  1 lemon, juiced

  1/2 tsp each of garlic and onion powder

  1 tsp of sea salt 

  1/2 tsp of paprika

  2 tsp of dijon 

  1/2 tsp of soy sauce

  1/4 cup of nutritional yeast

  *taste of it. It may need more water, salt and/ or dijon. Remember you can add but you can’t take back so be conservative. 

  Peel potatoes and carrot, chop em. Boil em. Compile with everything else and blend in the blender. If it's too thick, add more water. Enjoy. 

  Depending on my mood I either buy a bag of tortilla chips or cut corn tortillas into chips and bake them. Lately real corn tortillas are one of my food aversions which is a real tragedy because non-pregnant me loves them. Anyway, I typically make a fresh salsa, open a can of fat-free refried beans, and mash a couple of avocados with lime juice and spices for some guacamole, and toss in a few cherry tomatoes. You could add rice or lettuce or whatever else to this if you want. 

  Here's a picture of the cheese sauce (sorry the pic is so huge, I have no idea why). I also love to pour it over broccoli and potatoes for a quick and easy meal.

  I made Reese's cup fudge.  Not healthy, but tasty.  Super easy.  This is about the extent of my cooking right now.
  
  Line an 8x8 pan with tin foil and spray it with Pam.
  Cover the bottom in a layer of Reese's cups.
  Melt 3 cups chocolate chips with a can of sweetened condensed milk.
  Pour the chocolate in the pan and smooth it out.
  Top with chopped Reese's cups.
  Let it cool on the counter then refrigerate for 3+ hours before serving.
