I know, I've been on a Vcon kick lately. It actually all started with this recipe. My good friend Vegyogini had recommended this soup to me and once I dug the mighty Vcon out (I moved recently) I figured, well, hell, why just make one recipe? Truth is, I've owned Vcon since it came out about a year ago and I've only made about 5 dishes... so it's been nice to "get my monies worth." Anyway, I went a little …

A friend of mine recently poo-pooed my healthy baked corn chips and I admit they can be a bit bland without all the oil and salt... but the thing about chips in nachos is they have two functions: to add a 'crunch' and to work as a utensil. You taste the toppings in nachos more than the chips, so I'm happy if my chips are a bit muted. Go ahead and give healthier, …
