Say no to Cheese Whiz! That jar of bright orange spread haunted most of my childhood since my sister loved it. This one is nutritious, delicious, and kid approved. This recipe also makes awesome salad dressing on my Big Ol' Texas Bowl Salad

  • ½ cup sunflower seeds, soaked for 2-8 hours*, drained and rinsed
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
