Vegan Cheese Sauce

Thank you to my sweet friend @annie.hutchings for sharing her Vegan Cheese Sauce recipe. Neither of us are vegan but we enjoy this sauce all the same! I’m not going to lie to you and tell you that it tastes just like cheese but it’s a yummy sauce that’s good on most things that cheese would be good on. Bonus- it’s full of vegetables and is totally healthy!
