Delicious Healthy "Cheez" Sauce Recipe (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

I ran across this cheezy sauce recipe via Pinterest and have modified it a little (as often happens with online recipes).  It's great to go on baked potatoes, or to use in the preparation of vegan scalloped potatoes, and as a yummy sauce for various veggies.  No cholesterol.  No gluten. No dairy.  Very little fat. No refined sugar.  Guilt-free, pretty much!
