the "Daiya" post

As of today, I am 6 and 20!! What a great time to get serious about vegan blogging before I get kicked out of the MoFo blogroll.

To make up for my week of silence, I present a post about Daiya and the recipes I have made. I like to eat minimally processed foods, so Daiya and the foods made with the fake cheeze substitute are a treat. I find Daiya has a flavor, it's not off putting, but I prefer recipes where it's not prominent.

Portabello Mushroom & Leek Quesadilla:
Recipe from the Daiya website: http://www.daiyafoods.com/recipe/portobello-mushroom-leek-quesadilla
It melts! 

Leeks + mushrooms are amazing! 

Pizza!
I used the dough recipe from Vegan with a Vengance. I let the dough rest overnight and my pre-preparation paid off, this dough had some serious air bubbles.


I should have brushed a little oil on the crust 
Cheezy Tamale
Somewhat time consuming, but totally worth it when complete! For this recipe I used the Havrti Wedge.  I also ate the tamales with a green salsa and an avocado "cream" (you take some water, avocado, and cilantro, salt to taste & blend).
Wooden cutlery is my new thing. 

Kale makes everything healthy. 

I will continue to eat Daiya in moderation. I just can't resist a cheezy pizza. The pizza featured in the post took me back to 7th grade because that pepperoni had a jr. high cafeteria flavor to it! My boyfriend and sister preferred the pizza without the pepperoni, but I liked eating my nostalgia.

  1. TAMALES! I too work in an office, and don't really take lunch breaks. I have an ebb and flow in how well I do with bringing in food... Oh, the cubicle life.

  2. Looking good! I bought two bags of Daiya with me back from my trip to the US, and it disappeared so fast!
