a new kind of yum.

so.
today was stressful, this week is stressful.  but to counter the heightening tension spring semester is causing, i've decided to feed myself particularly well and make time for emotional wind-down while i cook and eat (instead of studying while i eat, which is {unfortunately} the usual).

today, i found a new favorite recipe!  really, it's fabulous.  i was a little skeptical at first, but wanted to try it just because it looked so darn beautiful - and as we all know, beautiful food always tastes better.  okay, maybe i'm at the liberty of the food photographers sometimes, but hey.  this time, it paid off.  the blog i snatched the recipe from is also quickly becoming another favorite.

if all her recipes are as good as this one, then i'll definitely be trying more from her archives.

these are her "you're so cheezy" savory oats:  http://ohsheglows.com/2010/03/03/youre-so-cheezy/
1/2 cup oats
1 cup water
1/2 cup almond milk (i didn't have any on hand, so i used soy milk)
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1/6 cube vegetable bouillon
tumeric
and a little salt.
practically the easiest (and one of the quickest) delicious dinners ever.  put everything in a pot, bring to a boil, then simmer on low for about ten (ish) minutes.  i topped mine with home-made crumbled flax crackers, sliced avocado, salsa, and black beans. absolutely delicious.  make sure to check out the link, too - she has some great pictures of it, and her post is super fun.

to even further convince you of this deliciousness, it passed the non-vegan taste test.  christine, a non-vegan food lover, came to dinner to try my new find and loved it just as much as i did!  she also gave me a recipe that i'll be trying soon for sweet potato scones - yeah. talk about yum.

hope i've left you drooling.  by the way, i just bought nutritional yeast and besides using it for the loads of savory oats i'm going to be making, i want some other good recipes that taste veganly cheesy, so i'd love some suggestions!

eat on, and be happy.
