Vegan Cheese!!!!

  I know that it has been a while sense I have posted but I really wanted to share this. There are two versions actually one uses nuts and the other oatmeal, both are pretty darn amazing!!!

                                             Here is the nut cheese sauce over chili fries!!!

Does that not look like cheese sauce!?! It is so good my picky, picky, picky, children even eat this cheese!!!  I will also post the chili recipe as it is pretty darn good as well.

 Nut cheese sauce:

  In a pot of water boil

3-4 Large Potatoes (Boil more if you want to make a chunky cheesy potato soup)

2-3 Large Carrots

1 Large Onion

Keep your water

   Boil these until the potatoes are soft and break apart with a fork

In your high speed blender add

1 1/2 Cup of Cashews (I use raw so not sure how the cooked would taste.)

1/2 Cup of Nutritional Yeast ( My kids do not like the way that this tastes so we only use a little)

1Tbsp Smoked Paprika (Optional but SOOOOO yummy!!!)

1tsp Season All

and 1-2 Cups of the potato water add more if it is too thick. Start out with the one cup and add as needed. It should be thick like cheese sauce.

If you want to make it nacho sauce add salsa or add pepper tomatoes or add some jalapeños.

 Oatmeal Cheese Sauce:

Same as above. Boil water with potatoes, carrots, onions,

In blender add

1 Cup of Oats

3/4Cup of Nutritional Yeast

1 TBSP Smoked Paprika (Mmmmm)

1/8 tsp Garlic Powder

1 tsp Season All
 If it is not salty enough add a little bit of Sea Salt. Taste to season. 

(if it is not salty enough add sea salt until desired saltiness

4 Bottles Sweet Tomato Peppers

You can also use bottled smoked peppers about the equivalent of 1/4 a pepper. I would omit the paprika if you do this.

Blend with about 1 Cup of the Potato water and if it needs thickening just cook it over medium heat until thick. The starch from the potatoes and the oats will thicken it up. We added this mixture to out noodles tonight and it didn't need to be thickened but we did reheat over the noodles and served it hot. It is really very good. I think both ways are amazing and should be tested and tasted.
 I will post the chili recipe soon!!!
 Much love,
