*Nutritional Yeast is a great vegan substitute for a cheesy taste in recipes. It's flavor compares to Parmesan cheese! You can find it at your health food store in the bulk section. Or ask an associate. It comes in the form of big thin flakes and is yellow in color. Make sure it says Nutritional yeast and not yeast or you'll be cooking like my sister did and thinking I am crazy!
