Creamy Vegan Artichoke Dip

Hi! I'm back! 
Today me and Carlita are pretending that it's a lazy day. 
We're both still in our jammies, cuddled on the couch, but I'm actually digging DEEP for some energy because Pat's family is coming over for a vegan feast tonight and the food well... its not going to make itself and the house... it never cleans up after itself...so rude! 
SO I need to get my lazy bum in gear...like yesterday! 
But just to put that off for a little while longer I decided to share one of my favorite recipes. 
It always impresses my meat eaters! 
I stole this recipe from a friend and I have NO intentions on returning it! 
So, now I claim it as my own! 
It's so good every time i make it I really don't want to share, I would just like to have my way with it in privacy but no such luck! 

Creamy Vegan Artichoke Dip 
{Vegan AND Gluten free} 

To serve 2 people you will need:
* 1 small jar of marinated artichokes - drained
* 1/4 cup Vegenaise 
* 1/4 cup nutritional yeast 
* 1 clove garlic
* a handful of Daiya cheese
*paprika 
{salt and pepper} 


Preparation: 

* preheat oven to 350 
* Drain artichokes, pour into a bowl and mash them into smaller bits 
* mix in the vegenaise, nutritional yeast, garlic and handful of daiya cheese
* sprinkle more daiya cheese on top if you like it extra creamy!
* add salt and pepper if you please {I always do :) } 
* transfer into an oven safe baking dish and bake for 20 min

While its baking cut bread for dipping or use chips {gluten free if making if GF} 
Or get loco and use both! 
I prefer sourdough




Remove from oven and sprinkle with paprika. 
Enjoy!

BIG NEWS PART 2.

I'm having one of those days today where I have so much stuff to do (Finals) that I don't want to do (finals) that I keep putting them off to do other things (watch the Bachelor finale, (yes, I know I'm late !) ) but I can 't enjoy anything because I know I have so much other stuff I should be doing (finals) :(
Ughhhhh 
I hate finals! 

On a brighter note, MY interview about going Vegan was featured on
 my dear friend and amazing photographer's new blog about her and her hubby going vegan! 
She shares her (so good you won't believe they're vegan) recipes and makes it easy for the most lazy undomestic person (me!) to go vegan! 
T.G.F.E.
(Thank God For Erica)
Go check out my interview and  her amazing blog HERE!
And if you missed Pat's hilarious interview from last week you can check that out HERE!
And If you missed the BIG NEWS about me and the Hubs becoming vegan and you're completely lost then you can check that out HERE
And If you're not completely overwhelmed and frustrated with the amount of linking that just went down in this post then enjoy yourself.
And, finally grab a bib to wipe the drool off your face while you salivate over these vegan treats Pat and I have made so far! 
We know you're jealous! 





Happy almost weekend! 
XOXO
