Hey everyone!! One of the appliances I love most in my kitchen is my food processor. Hands down. But really great food processors are pretty expensive. We were very blessed to receive ours as a wedding gift. Also it’s sometimes too big to do the job I need it for, like making small batches of dips and chopping small quantities of veggies. Enter my new toy…
The mini food chopper! This bad boy was on sale at Target this past weekend- I think I paid $30 for it. I had been thinking about getting one and as I saw this one on sale I knew it was the one! I’ve had a super cheapy one before but it didn’t work well and I ended up throwing it away. Spend a little money if you’re going to get something like this. It’s worth it, I promise!
This little food chopper is absolutely PERFECT to make the dip recipe I’m sharing with you today! Also I hear there’s some kind of football game this weekend, and that it’s kind of a big deal. So maybe you should make this to snack on during said game!

Talk to me about nutritional yeast. What is it and where do I find it?
How is that chopper? I need one and that is THE PERFECT COLOR too.
Its amazing- I absolutely love it!!
I received a jar of Nacho Momma’s Vegan Queso as a gift and am obsessed – but can’t find it in stores!!! This actually sounds very similar to the ingredients – I’m gonna have to try this! 🙂
