Vegan Kitchen Rules:

  1. Be excellent to each other!

  2. All recipes MUST have a photo.

  3. If the recipe is from an outside source i.e. a food blog or YouTube, please link the recipe so we can support the original creator and study the recipe ourselves

  4. No anti-vegan bullying.

  5. Be welcoming to "flexitarians", there are people who are learning the vegan way and need help. We all have to start somewhere.

  6. No advertising or spamming allowed.

  7. No plate-shaming. Not all of us are chefs. Presentation isn't everything. Some recipes taste better than they look!

  8. Posted questions or opinions do not require a photo.

  9. THIS LAST RULE IS MANDATORY: Have fun! πŸ’–

We found it! The perfect grilled cheese recipe!

Note, the vegan cheddar cheese contains a blend of cashews for those with a nut allergy!

Here's the recipe: https://minimalistbaker.com/the-best-vegan-grilled-cheese-sandwich/

**Be sure to give them a like and a follow on their website!

Cook Time: 15 min

Ingredients:

  1. Thick sour dough bread
  2. Vegan butter
  3. Vegan cheddar cheese

Tip: A cast iron skillet would be best for this to get those crispy sides on the bread and those golden edges. But cast irons take time to preheat. The recipe may take longer if you haven't prepared the vegan cheese yet. Once the cheese is blended and you have a vegan butter of your choice cook time should be only 15 minutes.

The Butter: Most favored by all is Miyoko's Creamery European Style cultured vegan butter -"with a hint of sea salt" flavor. You can find it at most Trader Joe's. You can put this stuff on anything! If you can't get ahold of that, second option: Monty's Plant Based Butter

The Cheddar Cheese: Here's the recipe: https://minimalistbaker.com/easy-vegan-cheddar-cheese-spread--sauce/

According to the recipe it's made with a base of cashews and carrots. Then blended with tapioca starch, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, and spices. Once blended enough it's the consistency of a thick spreadable cheese sauce! Versatile for mac 'n cheese, casseroles & just about anything else you need cheddar cheese for.

Instructions: Simple! Heat the pan, butter the bread, layer the cheese spread. Cook on both sides until the bread is crispy and the cheese is heated all the way through. Don't burn your mouth on the first bite!

What are your thought's about this one guys? Would you try it?

I've always liked pinto beans, usually "refried", which is when you cook the beans and then mush them to a paste. Some crazy folks will blend the beans to a paste. I'm OK with that, but my latest thing is high pressure instapot beans with mushrooms.

Yeah you heard it here first folks! For the lazy people like me...6 volumes of beans to 1 volume of dried mushrooms in the pot with condiments and salt to your taste. Set it for 1 hr and come back to a meal full of various textures and the good bean flavor we've come to love.
