A Caveat and Affiliates

First off, a little caveat: within my articles you will find affiliate links, meaning if you buy them, I get a small commission. Your cost is not affected. In addition, I am an Amazon Associate and I earn from qualifying purchases on Amazon.

And yes, if I say that I recommend a product here, it means I truly believe it is a good product. I refuse to recommend any product that I have not researched and believe to be a good value.

Even better, I provide you with a very clear picture of the product, it’s use, and the probable value.

Earning your trust is important to me. I run this website myself and the commissions and donations help support the site.

Sound reasonable and fair enough? Let’s continue to the article.

Veggie Cheezz

This recipe takes cheesy flavor to a new point using vegetables as a base. We think it offers a delightful twist. Try it and let us know what you think!

Ingredients
  • 2 cups peeled potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup peeled carrots, diced
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil (you may use olive oil, if you prefer)**
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or water, if you prefer)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

**Note that coconut oil hardens at a higher temperature than olive oil. Therefore, if you want a firmer cheese, use coconut oil. However, for a more liquid version at room temperature, we recommend olive oil. ALSO, try substituting avocado or silken tofu for an oil-free version!

 

Directions
  • Boil potatoes and carrots until soft
  • Put all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth
  • Use immediately for store up to a couple of days in an airtight container in the refrigerator
