Nutritional Yeast Victory!!!
When I first joined VegWeb last November, my first post was about how I was afraid that I would never get used to not eating cheese & how I even had a hard time making substitutes because I hated nutritional yeast... It was stinky and grainy and just UGH.
However, I had a sneaking suspicion that the stuff I bought at the organic foods store by my college was just a bad batch. Well, now I'm moved back home into the big city :), and I just bought some nutritional yeast here the other day, and YUM!!! My boyfriend & I used some to make tofu-ricotta "cheese" to put on top of pizza the other night, and I started with literally 1/4 of a teaspoon (when the recipe called for 1/4 cup!) because I was so afraid of what it would taste like... The last batch I bought had tasted like a foot! (Or what I imagine a foot would taste like...) This tasted amazing!
I think the main problem was that the old health foods store kept their N.Y. in the regular bulk foods section, and my old faithful one here at home keeps it in the refrigerated bulk section! Does it always have to be refrigerated?? I think I'll be keeping mine there just in case... Also, the new stuff is N.Y. flakes, whereas the old stuff wasn't.
Wow wow wow. I just sprinkled a good tablespoon on top of my spaghetti for dinner in place of parmesean, and I am IN LOVE! I am SO EXCITED that I finally like nutritional yeast! Yay! I can't wait to start making more recipes with it! I've saved so many to my recipe box over the last several months, but I've been afraid to try because every time I did, it was rancid... Now I have the good stuff & I couldn't be happier! :D
Yeah, in the past someone did that a time or two, to make their remarks after the fact seem less offensive than initially posted. I didn't see that this time, but that was the reason for the no-edit that jumped into my head. Maybe I'm wrong though.
And the no-edit thing stinks... I'll have to be more careful with my proof-reading, especially before I consume coffee.
um, yes. i am typo queen. as if the whole of vegweb didn't already know that without me telling you.
:'( what will i do without edit?! :-\ :-X

Please please please?!
My first victory with nutritional yeast was with the cheesy bean and cheese enchiladas from this site. At least I think that was the name. I didn't follow the recipe exactly as I like my food spicier but it was good.

That recipe is awesome! I'm in love with it. :D
