...Stretchy Vegan Mozzarella Cheeze...

...when I saw this recipe over at It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken...

...I thought...I've got to try that...it looked so easy and good...

...so I got out my cashews...I had not pre-soaked them...

...but that was ok...because Sam said that she doesn't always soak hers in advance...so she just boils them for a few minutes...

...a few simple ingredients...Tapioca starch is what makes the cheeze stretchy...

...a few other simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand...

...just put everything in the blender...

...and blend it all up..until it's nice and smooth...

...then put it in a saucepan and start cooking it...

...until it gets all gooey and stretchy...a few minutes...

...perfect gloopy...gloppy...stretchy...cheezey goodness...

...just served wtih some tortilla chips...

...so delicious and fun...we'll definitely be making this again...I think it would be super with some salsa and hot sauce mixed in too...

...and the FINAL nākd Bar flavor is...

...Cocoa Crunch...

...a few ingredients...I really liked the crunchies...

...and only 106 calories...

...it was so much fun trying all of these bars...we all have our favorites and we'll definitely be ordering them again...

...Pan Makeover...

...this is my half sheet pan...it's just not looking all that shiny and clean...

...I use it a lot...for cookies...and tofu mostly...and then I usually just toss it in the dishwasher...and call it clean...

...but it just doesn't look all that clean...

...so I started scrubbing...

...and now it looks a lot better...

...I always think it's kinda funny when all of a sudden something like that starts bothering me...I mean...when I used this pan last week...it was only marginally cleaner looking...but it didn't bother me enough to scrub it until it shined...but today it did...

...do you do that too?...

...and today's nākd Bar flavor is...

...Ginger Bread...

...January Sky Scarf Update...

...so this was the Sky Scarf on size 3 needles...just a few days in...

...but I wasn't loving the sort of dense texture of two strands on such small needles...

...so I switched things up and changed to size 9 needles and only 27 stitches...and only one row per day...

...so far it's working out nicely I think...this is the scarf right at the end of January...

...and...yes...I'm geeky enough to chart the month out like that...

...and today's nākd Bar flavor is...

...Pecan Pie...

...containing...you guessed it...Pecans...
