Vegan Cook-a-Long

fettucine alfredo, vegan style!

Doodleyboo posted this recipe so I gave it a whirl on the weekend. I love the tangy taste of nutritional yeast in a sauce, it was pretty good. Only problem with mine is that I couldn't get the tofu to puree enough, so there were little tiny tofu bumps in it. I probably need a better blender.


I served it with fake parmasean and nappa salad:

Mac + Cheeze Casserole

Assembled the ingredients I chose to use:



I didn't splurge on cashew butter, I powdered some raw cashews in my grinder:



I made the sauce, cooked the pasta and added green onions and cut up Yves pepperoni. Mixed and poured into baking dish:



Sprinkled with bread crumbs. Baked and enjoyed!



Many more possibilities for casserole. I made the sauce soupier and liquidy-er than the recipe sugggested, I used soy milk instead of water. Yummy comfort food!


(p.s. I added "veat" as a label, I heard someone on CBC use that word for veggie meat)

(p.s.s. I hope the Blogger upgrade hasn't alienated anyone from the Blogger beta)

Tofurky sandwich with cheeze sauce and roasted pepper

I love sandwiches, they are the best. I decided to use the cheeze sauce on a sandwich, but since I already like tofutti grilled cheeze sandwiches enough as it is, I decided to put the cheeze on something more substantial. Also, I had a green pepper in my fridge, which I decided to roast.

The recipe was a little short on details, and I mostly followed it. I tried to half it (though, I didn't measure anything). I don't have garlic or onion powder, so I didn't add that, but I did throw in some mustard powder. I didn't have raw cashew butter (or any cashew butter), but I did have some roasted cashews left over from Christmas. I put those in.

I was pleasantly surprised by the cheeze, after reading Mishka's account of it. I liked it (it tasted pretty similar to that "macaroni hates cheese" recipe from a while back) a lot.


I put some veganaise on an Ace Bakery demi-loaf, then put the cheese on top of that. Tofurky slices and roasted green peppers on the other side.

I popped the sandwiches into the oven for a few minutes. This sandwich was delicious (if a bit messy with the cheeze).
