I have been wanting to try this vegan cheesy sauce that I saw over at Vegan Mecca's blog for some time and today I finally took the plunge. Sometimes on the weekends Zoey's dad and I go to one of our favorite restaurants for brunch and Zoey's dad always gets the vegan nachos. Having never made a vegan cheesy sauce myself, I somehow always felt inferior to the chefs at the restaurant and wondered if I could brave the non-dairy cheese sauce on my own.
Figuring that making the nachos at home would be cheaper and possibly healthier than ordering out, I gave it a whirl and the results were actually pretty good.
As you can see I used some baked tortilla chips, smart ground vegetarian crumbles, a red pepper, black olives and the cheesy sauce. We agreed that I went a little overboard with the mustard in the cheesy sauce which was my own fault because I was worried that without the mustard it wouldn't taste like anything.
I will say that it didn't taste like nacho cheese, but it did sort of look like nacho cheese and that is sometimes half the battle. It tasted great blended together with the other ingredients, but I wouldn't eat it plain on chips.
The other cheesey recipe that I am going to try has tofu in it and I am a little afraid of working with tofu so stay tuned to see how that works out.

Oooh I've not tried Chelsea's Cheezy Sauce yet but it does look good. I've used the one from Vegan Explosion a couple of times and liked that.
Hi, Zoey!!! The trick with opiates is to take them before your pain really starts to flare. If you take them after, there is no hope. For example, at the start of a busy day, I take an opiate before I even leave the house. It does something to block that horrific pain response that would otherwise leave me wheelchair bound.
I hope you are having a wonderful day, and I thank you for all of your kinds words. Remember, you are not alone.
Deliciously colorful! A tofu cheesy recipe sounds interesting, I'm looking forward to your next post!
