Hey ya'll! I made some vegan cheese sauce for the chili cheese nachos I made today. It's an all-purpose cheese sauce if you are looking for a non-dairy option. Here's the recipe. It's really tasty. Ingredients: 1/4 cup raw cashews, soaked 1 1/4 cups peeled and diced yellow or red potatoes 1/2 cup peeled and diced carrots 2 to 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast, to taste 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or refined coconut oil (or a light tasting oil) 2 1/2 tablespoons water 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste 1 medium garlic clove, peeled 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon white wine vinegar, to taste Sriracha or other hot sauce, to taste (optional) Directions: 1. Soak the cashews in a bowl of water overnight. Drain and rinse. (For a quick-soak method, bring a small pot of water to a boil and turn off the heat. Add the cashews to the hot water and soak for 30 to 60 minutes. Drain and rinse.) 2. Add potatoes and carrots to a small pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes until fork tender. Drain. Alternatively, you can steam the veggies until cooked through. 3. Add all ingredients except hot sauce to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, a splash of water or oil can help it along. Sample the sauce and adjust seasonings as desired. Add Sriracha (or other hot sauce) as preferred, if you’d like to give the cheese a spicy kick! 4. The sauce will keep for up to one week refrigerated in an airtight container. Let me know if you try it out. 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

If you’ve felt your motivation dip, routines wobble, or old habits creep back in….you are not failing, you are normal. The middle of January is where intention meets real life.This is the moment most people give up, not because they can’t do it, but because they expect perfection instead of progress. You don’t need to start over or have to be perfect, you can be present. One small aligned choice today still counts. Pause. Breathe. Recommit gently.Drink more water.Choose one nourishing meal.Take one mindful walk.Release the all-or-nothing mindset. Momentum isn’t built in January 1st energy, it’s built right here. What’s one small thing you’re recommitting to for the rest of January? You’re still in this and I’m right here with you. 💫💜💫💜💫

Happy Wednesday ya'll!!! I'm going to be leaning into some smoothies and juices. I'll share some good combos. If you have any recommendations, let me know. Thanks! (Unpictured: celery,cucumbers, beets, carrots, cilantro, ginger, parsley, watermelon, frozen berries) 🥭🍏🍎🍍🍉🍇🥝🥑

Happy Thursday ya'll!!! Take a deep breath with me in through the nose, out through the mouth. Let it go. You don’t have to have it all together today. You just have to be present. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pause, soften your shoulders, and remind yourself: “I am safe. I am supported. I am exactly where I need to be.” Today’s invitation: Drink an extra glass of water. Step outside for 3 mindful breaths. Speak one loving word to yourself. What are you doing today to reset your energy and pour back into yourself? ☀️☀️☀️

I'm going to try this out today!
