Raw Cheezy Sauce or Dip

Check the ViBES! This week was hard losing our dog, Peewee. He was my ride-or-die and was with me through good and evil. In almost every video I filmed over the last 5 years, Peewee was right there with me, soaking up the sun or waiting for the crumbs to hit the floor. I will never forget and see him on the other side. So, I spent some good time in the MidWest—the suburbs of Chicago. Garrett Popcorn is a place in Chicago, and they are world-famous for their cheddar and caramel popcorn mix. I mean, I could eat an entire tin by myself. Over 8 years since I have had Garrett's Chicago mix, I decided to make my own. There are some steps to this, but I promise it is yummy!

This one is for all my people who need more veggies! We should all use more whole foods in our lives, even me. This Chipotle Apple Cider Glaze will make the veggies and mushrooms shine anytime! This comes from someone who used to be that kid who waited until my mom turned her back to dump the veggies in the trash. This glaze can be used as a dip or glaze on mushrooms and veggies!

I used to miss cheese until I started making my own plant-based cheeses at home. I have experimented with many cheese bases, like cashews, almonds, sunflower seeds, and tapioca starch. This cheese uses coconut cream. I added sauerkraut brine to the mix, and it gave the cheese a tangy, aged vibe. This one is perfect for whipping up and eating during the holidays, with the cranberry adding a sweet vibe to the savory cheese spread.

This recipe comes to you just in time for the holidays or anytime you want to enjoy some flavorful plant-based meat.

Tip: Grocery Outlet, stay with the hemp seeds on sale!! (1.5 pounds $9.99 for) I was shocked by the number of you who have shown interest in my Hemp Ceasar Dressing. This is a recipe we often turn to when we're out of our favorite store-bought dressing. I've never really written it down; I'm always just going with my gut. But today, I've put together a recipe that tastes great and provides a nice dose of nutrients from the hemp seeds. In the video, I forgot to add the vegan Worcestershire sauce, and it is needed. It adds a nice savory base to the sauce. 

This recipe needs to be on repeat, so save this one for later!
