Here it is…Tortilla chips, Avocado, Tomato, Cilantro…Nacho cheese sauce. The tasty glue that brings all of the aforementioned together. Look at it! Drippy, mouth watering fabulousness! Forget the runway, give me a seat and some nachos!

I went on my Lasagna binge the end of last year and created this recipe along the way. It’s a pretty quick formula and adds great flavor to many dishes.

And the Winner is…well, you’ll have to read a little bit more. This past weekend, Sunday, December 13, 2009…a date that shall live on in our minds and taste buds for eternity. Julia, aka the Snarky Vegan, had the most brilliant idea that culminated in the Vegan Pizza Smackdown at Delisi’s Pizzeria and Bar. The premise of the smackdown was to compare how two vegan cheese’s would compare side by side. The competitors were Chicago Soy Dairy’s Teese and Canada’s own Daiya. These two vegan cheeses have been regarded as the best “melty” vegan cheeses in the country. Well, Chicago has put them to the test.

The Mercy For Animals’ 2nd annual Celebrating Compassion Gala was amazing! This has been such a hectic holiday season and we prepped ourselves for this event, however it’s been a while and we don’t get out much…together. I had so much fun being around grown ups, dressing up, serving our cheese, taking pictures, hanging with friends (Kevin & Chelsea) and spending time with my Silver Fox!

Marinated Tofu w/ Ste Martaen Smoked Gouda vegan cheese
Sandwiches may possibly be the world’s most perfect meal. Two slices of bread bookending an endless array of combinations. I can eat anything between two slices of bread…and I mean anything.
R U serious…anything?
Let’s see…I have eaten spaghetti sandwiches, mac n’ cheese sandwiches, beans n’ rice sandwiches, Vegenaise and ketchup sandwiches, cucumber and cheese sandwiches, hummus sandwiches, bean curd sandwiches, lasagna sandwiches, seaweed and couscous sandwiches…the list goes on. I think you get the point…I love sandwiches. But besides eating whatever is leftover from last night’s dinner in between two pieces of bread, I can make some rather wonderful sandwiches – really, I can.
The Marinated Tofu sandwich is definitely one of my favorites. It is full of flavor and great to send to school in your vegan child’s lunchbox.
You’ll need:
The Liquids:
The Dry Seasonings:
Now that your flavors are all mixed in, you can serve immediately or marinate overnight to intensify the flavors. I usually serve right away because I am impatient…and greedy!
For your sandwich assembly:
Alright everybody…STOP!…It’s veggie time!
And of course, Vegenaise. We are using the Grapeseed variety, or purple label, because it utilizes the healthiest oil.
Let’s put this sammie together, shall we?
Another masterpiece. Job well done! Serve with some of your favorite chips or some Goodness Rice Cakes and you have yourself a terrific lunch or light dinner.
A bonafide winner! For you and your children.
Now that’s good eatin’!

So, um things around here will be changing. I found a theme I like that may or may not be permanent, based on whether or not I get expert help OR I become the expert. Whichever comes first.
Last week I was in the south visiting my grandparents. Of course my grandparents don’t have the internet. They don’t have the faintest idea how to use a computer. They have never even used their DVD player! At any rate, I love the fact that my husband stayed with three of our children while I traveled with the infant to check on the health of the grandparents. So of course it was a no holds barred manfest here! As you can see with the previous post.
For the record, I think the idea of a pizza with fries and burgers and nuggets on it is pretty gross. However, the children were happy and I guess in the end that is all that counts.
Kids:
You have to try it! It was so good! It was the best dinner ever!
My husband:
C’mon you know you want to try it!
Me:
Trust me, I don’t.
That being said, I love the positive feedback about our cheese, about our blog, about our site. We look forward to sharing our journey with you!
Boca Burger with our Pepper Jack Cheese
Ever since we did a tasting for the Chicago Vegan Meetup, things have been moving quickly. Our website was barely set up + ordering and shipping = forgetaboutit! All in stride! This all adds to our charm of course. Doesn’t it? Anyway, I am overwhelmed at how positively, things are moving! We met up with the ultra kewl peeps from delicious cafe. They were not bothered by the fact that we showed up to a business meeting with four kids in tow. They loved our cheeses and meeting with them was so positive that when we stepped outside to our car and the meter man was writing us a ticket, we didn’t get upset. We said more to each other than to the meter man, “I guess it’s too late.” He exclaimed that it wasn’t, stopped writing us a ticket and moved on. Awesome!
Right now, we are setting up meetings and gearing up for production to go into the stores. We get the proofs back tomorrow for our labels and soon, very soon, we will be busier than even we can imagine! I am currently searching out another template for our website. I like this one, but it has some encrypted code that I cannot figure out (doh it’s encrypted). Also, at present I can only adjust one of the sidebars, how bonkers is that? So if anyone can suggest a nice clean theme, easily adjustable that I can incorporate my logo into, that would be awesome.
How many times am I going to say awesome? I don’t know, I just know that it is…
