Smoky Jalapeño Cheese
Calories: 47kcal
Cheese is one of the things most people tell me they have the greatest trouble giving up when they change to a plant based diet. Finding a vegan cheese that can get you through this change is a bit of a challenge. Most vegan cheeses I have tried at the grocery store are just not very good or have a terrible after taste AND they contain a lot of oil. My family really likes this recipe and I hope you will too..This cheese recipe is great for cheese and crackers or shredding to put on the inside of a quesadilla.
