Vegan Nachos

One of the things I hear all the time when new vegans attend their first family or friend gathering is, "Do I take my own food, or hope there is something I can eat?" My response is, "Take your own food and bring enough to share."

Super Bowl is this Sunday and there is a lot of food and drinking involved. These vegan nachos will hit the spot and you won't feel deprived when everyone else is eating the other nachos.
