Story behind the recipe:
Do you ever feel like you're having too much carbs or maybe you just want something a little more healthy? This is the one for you. At some point, sometimes you realize you've been having carbs with every meal and you think... maaaayyyybbee I should take a break, but everything that doesn't have carbs sounds gross. So then you avoid doing the right thing, but this isn't a boring and gross recipe.
This has so much flavor and feels like comfort food. It has a creamy texture, which you can sub any kind of nut milk products for whatever it is you can have. There's flax, hemp, oat, cashew, etc. If you can't find a milk product you can have, don't forget to check Amazon and then you can make this recipe later when you get your order.
