There are so many appetizers, hor d’ouevres, dips and snacks out there for parties, what do you bring when you were invited over for a weekend with friends? Well, I thought I would make nacho cheese sauce, who doesn’t like a good, creamy and gooey nacho cheese sauce? My partner is vegan so I made sure to make a vegan version so we all can enjoy this little creamy nacho sauce fiesta with crunchy tortilla chips and it turned out so good. This nut free and dairy free version of a party classic is so good that true believers of dairy would be fooled, yes, it’s that good…
