I thought I had posted this last night but apparently it didn’t work… stupid wordpress.
I was craving a wrap for dinner and knew I wanted to finish up the last bit of leftover chicken we had so I figured that would be the perfect way to do it, but I was also craving trying out a new recipe. I didn’t want anything other than a wrap for my actual dinner so no dinner recipe ideas were very appealing to me, but then I remembered that I’ve been wanting to try making Nutritional Yeast Queso Sauce for a while now, so that seemed like the perfect recipe to make. I didn’t eat it as an accompaniment to my dinner, but I just wanted to try it as a pre dinner snack with a few tortilla chips. I’m so glad I tried this out, it was super tasty and super easy to make. Plus the ingredients are simple on mostly always on hand too, so I can make this many times over! The picture doesn’t do it justice, especially since I had already put it in a tupperware containter, but I’m pretty darn excited to try this stuff on everything.
And The Wrap:
Chicken, baba ganoush, dijonnaise, spinach and tomato. Simple yet satisfying.
I later on had a few bites of my mom’s tortellini soup and a few bites of the boxed brownie I made yesterday that wasn’t even that great or satisfying so luckily I don’t even really crave it and can easily leave it after having a taste and realizing there are many other things I’d rather be eating…
…such as the bowl of cereal I had a little later on. I had this weird cereal craving, probably because I was earlier reading an article on cereals. So I had a small bowl of a mix of Puffed Rice, Raisin Bran and Guardian with a bit of unsweetened almond milk and a drop of yogurt.
I loooove nutritional yeast! It’s so tasty I eat it by itself sometimes.
I was doing that too as I was making the sauce, just kinda shoving little pinchfuls into my mouth. Haha mmmm.
Oooh, that wrap is overstuffed!! Love it :0)
I’m going to have to try that dip now. I’m always excited to try a cheezy dip that even non-vegans like, because if people who still eat real cheese like it, it MUST be good.
I’ve never had nutritional yeast before! It looks very good and everyone always says it tastes great, so I just might have to!!
That wrap looks delicious! :)
I see nutritional yeast as a sub for cheese all the time but can never find it anywhere? What section do you usually find it in? I need me some healthy cheeese;)
mmmmmmm i have the same question as richelle also, where’d ya find it at?
now I have a craving for cereal, yummy!
Just found your blog…I love the name! I like all your cereal pics and how you mix the fruit and yogurt in. :)
did you take a wrap class? do those exist? you should teach one, because i am the worst at wraps and thats the best wrap job ive ever seen.
Richelle & Lindzakins – I found it in a big plastic container in the health food section of my grocery store. I’ve also seen it sold in the Bob’s Red Mill bags (http://www.bobsredmill.com/) but only on occasion and it was probably double the price for half the amount I got in the container I bought… I think you can also get it in health food stores.
Kelly T – Well now I feel pretty darn special. Since I doubt wrap classes actually do exist, I think I should start that up. Could be a profitable business!
