RE: OMG Vegan Cheese Queso Posted Sunday, January 9, 2011 at 6:19 PM I haven't tried the queso, but I have had the "Vegan Parmesan Cheese" Amazon is selling with it. It's great on pasta. Never miss the real stuff. |

RE: OMG Vegan Cheese Queso Posted Sunday, January 9, 2011 at 7:08 PM Hubby mixed some of the not-cheese sauce we had leftover with some leftover veg chili and heated it up and it was awesome! We're going to be making that to serve alongside chips for the Super Bowl party we always go to (food is potluck, so we always bring something that we can munch on without getting off track) --Deb R |

RE: OMG Vegan Cheese Queso Posted Sunday, January 9, 2011 at 10:02 PM Are you making your own chips, or do you mean the kind you get at the store? |

We'll probably just buy a couple kinds of chips (baked low fat, regular, etc) since there'll be a whole variety of folks with different preferences at the party (and we'll need a goodly quantity as well - don't really want to spend a lot of time on them). --Deb R |

RE: OMG Vegan Cheese Queso Posted Monday, January 10, 2011 at 8:59 AM It's hard to cook for a crowd and come up with something everyone likes. I've made two batches of the oven-baked tortilla chips so far, so I was wondering if you were going to make them. My son and I love them. When I first mentioned how bland they were to my son, he said, "But, Mom, when they have hummus on them, they taste delicious!" So true! Next time I make them, I'm going to try sprinkling some ground herbs on them before they cool off. I have made pita chips like that in the past, but first I brushed them with olive oil before putting them in the oven. I kind of want to avoid those extra calories at this point. But, without the oil, I'm not sure if the herbs will stick to the chips, or not. |

Looks like the regular does contain gluten (unbleached flour) but the fire roasted is gluten-free. Just a warning for anyone like me who must keep strictly GF at all times. |

RE: OMG Vegan Cheese Queso Posted Monday, January 10, 2011 at 12:28 PM I make my own chips with purchased corn tortillas. I used to just cut and bake them, but my kids would complain that they did not taste good leftover (and I would like to make a big batch to stock up for quick snacks). Then I discovered Bryana Grogan's Almost no Fat Cookbook. Her method is: dip a tortilla in a pan of water, put on cooling rack, sprinkle with salt or other seasoning, cut, bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 400 for 7-8 minutes. I usually turn mine over, and they take longer for me, but I usually don't preheat the oven. |

RE: OMG Vegan Cheese Queso Posted Monday, January 10, 2011 at 2:31 PM just have to keep an eye on the corn tortillas you buy - many are still made with partially hydrogenated fat and lots of salt. Not to mention all sorts of other things to extend shelf life. --Deb R |

RE: OMG Vegan Cheese Queso Posted Monday, January 10, 2011 at 5:33 PM I think I saw this on veganessentials.com. A great site to order from, I get lots of stuff there and the only problem I've had is the "cool whip" in a can got clogged up and I couldnt' fix it. Otherwise, they have great products. |

RE: OMG Vegan Cheese Queso Posted Wednesday, January 12, 2011 at 9:28 PM I tried the vegan Queso... YUMMM.... tonight i went for it.. i bought tortilla chips.. heated them in the oven to just warm them up... stuck one of my bean patties in the microwave.. took the torilla chips out..broke up a bean patty on the chips... poured a half jar of "queso" on the chips... i added lettuce, tomatoes, and jalapenos.. it was so darn good,i thought for sure that it was bad.. yes the chips were the worst thing.. but i did shovel for 2 hours today!! the jury is in.. i expect a run on this product!!! i am going to request my stores carry it... all the ones i go to,so i don't have to go to a special one.. then i am going to buy stock in the company.. it's worth a try!! way good.. AND here is the best part.. i love nachos.. as a non-vegan i ate them maybe once a year.. at taco bell the small one.. cause they are just sooooo bad for you.. all fat.. and calories... now i can have them after i find a better chip.. whenever i want!!! and not feel bad..!! yahoooooooooo .. gotta tell johanna..... ps..see i did learn something.. crumbled up a bean pattie.. it worked great!! |
