'cheese' week
hi everyone! i've been out of town for a good long time. winter break and all!
I like to think of this week as "cheese week"--a week of "cheesey" vegan dishes! so stock up on the nutritional yeast and let's get cookin'
Sunday
mac'n'cheese. Now there are lots of fake cheese recipies online and i've tried a few. lastnight, i did an adaption of dragonfly's uncheese mix (from vegweb.com). I say "adaption" because, well, i didn't measure and I didn't really use the same stuff.
using my "scoop" (1/3 c measure)
3 scoops raw cashews
1.5 scoops nutritional yeast (ran out *boo*)
1 scoop arrowroot powder (or corn starch, but arp makes is "stringyish")
some garlic powder and seasoning salt (1/2-1 tb?)
grind that stuff up and mix 1 part to 2 parts water in a sauce pan. Heat and it will thicken, and then put on some cooked noodles. delish! I think the raw cashews really do it for me in this one!
Monday
tonight we are making a pizza. last night i was hangin' with my homies (or hoes, as we affectionatly call each other) and after some bar hoping and darts they wanted some snackfood so we went to the local pizza place. well, made me want some vegan pizza! i have to admit that pizza is the most perfect food, but conventional pizzas just aren't vegan friendly with all that dairy cheese and meats and stuff. So step in...vegan pizza!
da da da! i think it confuses people for me to be like "i love pizza i eat it all the time" and then never get it when we all go out.
I think i alreay posted about pizza. so i won't do it again
Thursday (lol, so much for "cheese week")
Tonight is mexi-nacho night. Delish! In an effort to make something mexicany and delish, the ladyfriend and I popped this together in the kitchen. I'll give the rough amounts, because I generally don't measure. BOO YA!
In frypan, add a bit of oil and some frozen (or fresh) pepper and onion blend (1/2 c). Cook until soft. Then add 1.5 c cooked rice, a regular sized can of kidney beans, some taco seasonings. Heat until hot and put in a bowl. Return pan to heat and add some salsa/water blend to make 1 c liquid. Add a heaping 1/2 c of that "cheese" powder blend mentioned above. Mix well, and heat until slightly thickened (you want it kinda runny, like cheese sause!). Pour over rice/bean mixuture in bowl and stir to combine. Delish! Serve wraped in burrito wraps or, heh heh, eat nacho style with some corn chips (like we did!).
