Mmm take a bite
I'm going to let you in on what of my kitchen secrets. It's VERY rare to find a recipe I follow that I don't alter in some way. My version of Mama Peas' Mmmm Sauce for example, was made with cashews rather than almonds because we simply didn't have any.
Mama Peas' Mmm Sauce
I loved being able to use basil straight from my herb planter for this!
While I found this sauce mighty tasty for veggie dipping last week, I'm not sure I loved it on our stir fry. It just wasn't quite what I was hoping for.
While I don't use nutritional yeast regularly, I simply wasn't a fan of the chalky taste it seemed to leave in the sauce. Next time (and there will be a next time), I will experiment with how much paprika I add and actually using almonds. I have a feeling the taste will be significantly different.
Sometimes that's the best part of cooking or baking: being able to put a different spin on one recipe.
Jonah is always within two feet of me if I'm making something, if not right under my feet. She's ready to attack the moment I drop so much as a crumb on the ground.
Veggie stir fry's seem to be on my stomach's priority list lately. Perhaps because we're starting to see so many fun veggies in the stores and at the farmers market.
Do you have a recipe that you love to make different versions of? Have you tried making vegan "cheesey" sauces?

I have yet to try this famous Mmm sauce, but I'll remember to stick with Almonds when I do! ;)
