Hey babes!

I love my veggies just as they are (ROASTED), but the easiest way to get my kids pound their broccoli is with cheese. And, truthfully, I love me some nachos. Cashew cheese is bomb as all hell, but it can be expensive and is very calorie dense. So, as a slightly lighter, cheaper alternative, try this! Made from the cheapest ingredients in the produce section.

Let me know what you think and what you would change!
