  1. No soy milk powder. Any ideas or just go without?

    1. Hmmm...I'm not sure. I think I'd just try it and see what happens. I'm not exactly sure what is purpose it. If it is a sweetener, then it would be good without. If it helps it stick together which is my guess, then it would just be more crumbly and you just have brain crumbles which would still be great! :)

Potato Carrot Cheese

Everyone needs to try this recipe.  I could sit and dip chips in this cheese at every meal, I think.  I like that it has lots of fiber and nutrients.  It's a little cheaper than some recipes because the base is made from potatoes and carrots.  It is bursting with flavor! Ingredients: 2 C cooked potatoes 1 C cooked carrots 1/2 C nutritional yeast, scant 1/2 C water (use from cooked potatoes and carrots) 1/3 C light olive oil 1 Tbsp lemon juice 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp chicken-style seasoning 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp onion powder 2 oz pimientos Instructions: Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.   Serve with chips, on broccoli, as macaroni and cheese, on lasagna.  This is so very yummy!

Pour into a sprayed 9x13 baking dish. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes. *Note: Here is my  Dairy-Free Condensed Mushroom Soup  recipe. **Note: You can use my  vegan mayonnaise  recipe. To make it more sour cream-like, just add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice.
