It’s National Nachos Day!

So tonight darlings, skip that meal prep you planned and celebrate your love of nachos.

In honor of National Nacho Day, I’m sharing one of my favorite nutritional nacho recipes which I modified from Half Baked Harvest.

“What’s the plan’s for Thanksgiving” they asked me.

If only I could copy and paste the virtual looks I received when I told my meat loving family that I was providing a vegan Thanksgiving dinner.

“So we’re having Tofurky” they said? “No, we’re having real food. Whole foods” I replied. Well we did have tofurky gravy, but that remained a secret until now.

Secret: I rarely meal prep. But I will for these.

I couldn’t believe how easy it was to make these. Cut squash – check. Remove seeds – check. Roast for an hour in the oven – check. And then the fun begins.

The fun actually started in my garden, where I harvested the last of my heirloom tomatoes. With a few additional organic produce items, I was able to get creative and make an easy, bright and flavorful pico de gallo. All you need is 4 ingredients really.
