Vegan Cheese
It turns out this cheese is amazing for everything. For instance, pizza. What about macaroni and cheese? Quesadillas? How about nacho night. This cheese is fabulous for every cheesy dish. Best of all, it’s super simple to make. If you don’t have yeast flakes, you can purchase them online. Here is the link to McKay’s chicken style seasoning, or you can use salt to taste.
