What Is Nutritional Yeast?

If you have been vegan for any length of time, or if you’ve looked through a vegan cookbook or recipe blog, you’ve probably heard the term “nutritional yeast”. Vegans love it (even affectionately nicknaming it “nooch”) and use it in all kinds of recipes. I personally use it on toast, on potatoes and popcorn, in sauces, soups, gravy, tofu, etc.! In this post I will give you recipes for over 30 ways to use it, and I will also tell you what nutritional yeast is, and why you might want to incorporate it into your diet.

25 Creative Ways to Prepare Tofu

by Angel McNall

Tofu is definitely gaining more respect in the court of public opinion these days. Most people don’t cringe when you say ‘tofu’ anymore, or tell you that they ate it once, and they hated those slippery little white cubes, floating in their Japanese soup. It’s so mainstream that you can even order is right off the menu at Chipolte! (Yes, Sofritas is tofu! It’s amazing btw, in case you haven’t tried it! Spoiler Alert: This post contains a link to a sofritas copycat recipe! ) Besides it’s super high protein content, one of the best things about it is that it will soak up the flavors of anything you cook it with, marinate it in, or blend it with, making it a really versatile food! So enjoy this list of 25 creative ways to prepare tofu, including recipes from my blog, and from other talented food bloggers! Enjoy!

****Update – Bonus Links!! I prepared this list for you a while ago, and in the meantime I’ve posted a couple of really great tofu recipes to my blog, so be sure to check out my Simple Sesame Garlic Buddha Bowl, My BBQ Tofu Bowl, and my favorite Weeknight Tofu for more amazing tofu recipes!*******

Dark Chocolate Banana Nut Muffins

Wow! Hi! I’ve taken a pretty long break! I just got back from a cross country road trip with my hubby, sons, and our 2 dogs! We went from our home, here in California, to Maryland and Virginia to visit my family. That’s where I’m originally from, and my whole family lives there. I haven’t seen them in a long time, and we had a wonderful trip and a great visit. Best part about being out on the road? Seeing new places all the time, taking the kids to really interesting places and taking lots and lots of pictures!! A little teaser for my next post…. I will be posting a recipe that was inspired by one of my favorite stops on our road trip! It’s a dish I’m completely OBSESSED with it, and that’s all I’m going to say about it for now. So make sure you don’t miss it because it’s awesome! Hint: I’m talking about this city… if you know where this is, then you win!

Do you know where this is?

So, now we’re back, and I am enjoying using my oven again. I have to say that even though I have an oven in our fifth wheel, I rarely take the time to bake anything while we’re traveling… unless it’s like French fries or something! Even though the salesman did point out that our unit has an oven, for ‘baking cakes and pies’ when we were buying it. Ummmm, cakes and pies, when you’re camping? Yeah. Right. (Side note – if YOU make cakes and pies while you’re camping, then you’re my hero, and I’ll be over at dessert time!) One of my kids’ first requests when we got home was more “banana muffins”! I usually make a bunch ahead of time and bring them with us, but they go fast! They were gone about two days into our 2 month journey! They are super yummy, and a big family favorite around here!
