Say it with me: QUESO QUESO QUESO! That’s right. We’re talking cheese dip today. But not just ANY cheese dip.

This creamy cashew queso dip is made with no dairy – NONE. Only simple + good-for-you plant based ingredients that make it vegan, paleo, and whole30 compliant.

I have been wanting to share a recipe for this for awhile because queso is one of those delicious snacks that has the power to make a person SO happy. Amirite?! And I think we can all agree that everybody needs more happy food in their lives.

Maybe it’s because dipping things into creamy, gooey cheesy flavored goodness is close to a spiritual experience, or maybe it’s just because it’s so damn delicious. Either way – I’M IN and I hope you are too!

Because you can have a queso party for one, but it’s a lot more fun if we all show up! 😉

Friends! Finally the recipe for the best paleo banana bread is ready to be shared with the world. If you follow along regularly with Nyssa’s Kitchen you might know that I am not the most skilled baker. It’s something that I ENJOY doing, but I’ve never really had the knack for creating my own baking recipes.

So when I decide to share a recipe for a baked good with you all, I test it at least (what feels like) a million times. Because getting it right is important. Especially when it’s something as yummy and esteemed (treasured) as banana bread.

So I’ve been working on this recipe for at least a month, probably literally made 12 loaves (friends and co-workers are all loving us and our banana bread gifts), to get it just right. And we’ve made it. The recipe is ready and I cannot wait for you guys to get your hands on this banana bread. It’s tender, moist, the perfect texture, just the right amount of sweet, and SO GOOD. Or as the name proclaims, the best 😉

Hellloooo lover 😍 We are OBSESSED with this marinara sauce with ground beef you guys and I’m so excited to be sharing the recipe with you bc I think you’re gonna be obsessed, too!

It’s SO versatile, easy to make, and healthy, that it has quickly become a staple for our weeknight dinners around our house.

Not only a staple but something we seriously look forward to digging our forks into anytime it’s “what’s for dinner”.

Lately I’ve been working to focus on sharing easy dinner / meal recipes for you here on Nyssa’s Kitchen that you will love and make again and again. Because honestly what’s better than healthy and crazy delicious food that is also EASY TO MAKE?! And I think this one falls into the trifecta of those three categories 💯

It is packed with comforting and homey flavors that can sometimes take waaaay too long to achieve in a home-cooked meal. But this flavorful sauce is ready in about 30 minutes flat, which gives you just enough time to prep what you’re serving it with, toss together a simple green salad, and pop open a bottle of wine 😉

Basically this super easy marinara sauce with ground beef IS weeknight dinner goals (that also makes seriously crave-able lunch leftovers for the next day <– just sayin’ 😉).

what should you eat this super easy marinara sauce with ground beef with?

 

There’s so many options!

It’s delicious paired with the obvious choice of GF pasta or ravioli, but is equally delicious served with:

  • Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi
  • With spiralized veggie noodles 
  • Over sautéed hearty greens 
  • On top of a roasted sweet potato
  • In a bowl with some fried eggs and a little arugula salad
