This is going to be one of those late-nite-before-bed-nonsense posts…

Nutritional yeast is great. If you are vegan or vegetarian and you DON’T have this in your pantry/cabinet then go out and buy some now. In fact, even if you are a hardcore meat-eater, you should get some for the great flavor it has as a popcorn topping. You can find it in bulk at Wild Oats or Whole Foods as well as in large cans in the health section, although I don’t recommend purchasing it in this way as it will cost you alot more. This great little flake gives a powerful dose of vitamin B12 as well as protein. It has a great, sharp cheese flavor and works well in anything that needs that tasty kick. I made a batch of cheeseburger macaroni tonight using it. I’ve used it for macaroni-and-not-cheese, grilled cheese (after making a spread from the yeast), cheesy biscuits, I’ll even go as far as to eat a spoonful dry and plain!

Like I said, a late ramble but the greatness of nutritional yeast had to be shared! Now you know!

I don’t write much about what I cook and eat.  Here’s a first.  Tonight I will be making Stuffed Bell Peppers.   Not the first time I have made this and it is very simple.   Tomatoes, TVP, a few spices that I am in the mood for, a little worcestershire (No, not common worcestershire, I prefer Annie’s Naturals brand.)  and, of course, bell peppers.  I just ran out of fresh from the garden bell peppers so I picked up two organic ones from Wild Oats, actually a deal at $2.49 a pound as opposed to what they usually go for.

Mashed Potatoes is always a great side and it will be there tonight as well, but I have some fennel that I picked up from Whole Foods this weekend as a “Let’s try something new.” thing.  I’ll probably sautee that to go along.
