I hesitate to really call this a recipe. It’s more of an idea of how to keep you on the healthy side of sweets as fall approaches. Not to mention it’s super quick and easy, even with the pumpkin caramel sauce. We have a lot going on in our family right now, both not so great stuff and some potentially exciting things. Because of this, time is a huge factor. Simplifying things, and being okay that everything isn’t perfect, are both also really important. Read this post that my awesome blogger friend Kathy of Happy Healthy Life just posted about this topic, it’s a good one.
This isn’t my best photography, I shot it much quicker than usual. And I am perfectly fine with that, because balance is what life is all about. So these easy vegan apple nachos are here. And they are delicious, so hopefully some of you can woo your kids into thinking you kick mom butt with them like I did! Side note, I don’t shoot kids, only food, but I just had to include this hilarious shot I took of them in the moment. They seriously were looking at me like “Don’t bother us, we’re eating. Scram.”
