when nothing but nachos will do!

ok, i promise i'l post something green, or with some more serious nutritional content very soon.  next week. but this week i'm all about our kind of junk food!  especially because on sunday i know something like 88% of this country will be watching football (why?!) and the temptation to munch on chicken wings and pizza will be strong. but i have a better idea my friends.... these {vegan} nachos.  that's right. make a heaping plate of these and forget all about chicken wings and pizza, you won't need them.  this is how we do good old fashioned junk food, and once you try you'll be hooked.  *i prefer my junk food to be easy.  i don't want to be slaving away in the kitchen for a plate of nachos.  that being said, if slaving away over nachos is your thing there's definitely room to improve upon this recipe with some home cooked garlic black beans or homemade habanero salsa.  recipe and a seizure inducing animated nacho pile after the jump.  yay!

carrot ginger soup - two ways!

the weather here was amazing this weekend, i actually enjoyed a couple hours of sunning pool side! and please don't hate me if you've just come in from digging your car out of a snowbank- i did close to 18 winters in maine, i can feel your pain.  and your frozen toes.  ahhhhhhh!  don't worry, this soup will warm you up.

as much as i love this warm weather it's strange because it's JANUARY!  so to make it feel wintry in the best possible way i cooked up this carrot ginger soup. it's my first time making a cashew cream and i apologize in advance if my next ten recipes are nothing more than excuses to drench something (anything!) in it.  i've fallen ass over teakettle in love. i may have even proposed marriage somewhere between tasting it with a sprig of thyme and mixing in curry powder.  *sigh*

recipe after the jump!
