Vegan Poutine with Smoky White Cheesy Sauce


So, March forward I will with delicious potato recipes as a highlight of the pure joy and potato nutrition that abounds in our everyday world.

Poutine is truly French Fries drowned in melted cheese curds and fatty gravy. Delicious by all accounts. But not so much a thrill for vegans, of course (or the poor critters that go into the fatty gravy).

However, take a look! There are several vegan poutine recipes online. Most of them have replicated the fatty gravy and dense, gluey cheese curds with a scary closeness.

The vegan poutine sauce/gravy in this recipe is a little less fatty, but the nuts and seeds (cashews and tahini)have the reqired mouth appeal, and the liquid hickory smoke gives them a scrumptuous rustic je ne sais quoi.  

 Try the recipe.  Doctor it up and let me know what you think.

Get your fries out of the freezer.  Read the instructions  package to bake your fries crispy,  Set the oven or prep your air fryer.

Meanwhile:

Ingredients for Smoky White Cheese Sauce:

 1/2 C. raw unsalted cashews or cashew pieces
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes (NOT Brewer's yeast)
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 T. Tahini
1/2 - 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 cup water

METHOD:

1.  If you do not have a high speed blender, soak your cashews overnight or several hours in 2 cups of water.  Drain and go ahead with recipe.

2. Preheat oven as per instructions on fries package.

3. If you have a high speed blender, combine cashews, yeast, garlic, salt, tahini and liquid smoke.  Blend until silky smooth, consistency of fine cheese sauce with no lumpy bits.

4. Spread chips in pan and put in over as per instructions.

5. Pour the cheesy mix into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium to medium-high heat, whisking continuously.  Lower the heat slightly to keep at a low simmer.  DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL.  Keep whisking until it begins to thicken.  (about 10 minutes)

6. Remove from heat.  Thickening will continue.

7. Arrange fries (bakes?) on individual plates and ladle hot cheesy sauce over the fries.

The Lemon-Garlic Mixture Recipe that Chris Wark (Chris Beat Cancer) Recommends

My husband and I are both over 70, and while we have the odd age-expected ache or pain or fallen hair or swollen ankles or whatever, we have avoided many of the BIG Diseases: Heart Disease, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Arthritis, Cancer-- but we have had family with these diseases and there is a good chance that we will have something like this hit at some time.  That is the way of the world these days, is it not? So, to be proactive and preventative, we believe that "Food is Our Medicine" and we adhere to a Whole Food/Plant-Based way of eating. We also watch a lot of those health seminars that mesh with our way of thinking that plants/herbs are the answer-- or at least our first rule of order when we feel ill.  We loved the Chris Beat Cancer series because, well, who wouldn't?  Chris is a charming young man with a friendly, compassionate mission to help others learn about how they too can beat cancer without (or only as a sideline) chemo or radiation.  In his Square

Vegan Sourdough Waffles

Great vegan sourdough waffles These waffles are super Thank you for your kind words and compassion my friends-- except for Ed's pain in his finger, all is well. And today is sunny and hopeful! May you each have a grand day today-- be blessed! Think healing. Think success. Think peace. Think happiness. *As a person thinks, so are they. Psalm 23:7* Today we had an accidental contact with the new stove that shattered the outer glass surface (exterior to the door glass), and a few minutes after attending to that-- with sweeping and phoning re the warranty, etc. (a runaround with AI and some call centre folks with some mutual not-understanding}-- I accidentally slammed Ed's finger while pushing in a drawer. Poor guy, his nail has already turned black. and yummy. Sourdough has probiotics in it, and a lovely flavor, although the pancakes will not have quite the healthy sour taste that bread has. 1.

Unveiling the Truth: A Critical Review of The Way - 2X2s and Church With No Name

  Recently I was struck by a newspaper article about a woman in her 40s, Lyndell Montgomery, who had been part of the religious sect called 2 X 2 s or "The Way" or even "The Church with No Name".  Montgomery had recently charged a leader/ministering member of the 2x2s with child sexual abuse that happened when she was 14. She lives on the Island that we live on (maybe even in our community). I am interested in the diversity of memoirs by people who were spiritually abused. And I have some scattered recollections of knowing people who were part of this particular sect.  I have a blog page listing more than 25 books that I have read about spiritual abuse .  In the eye-opening little book, shown above, we delve into the dark reality of spiritual abuse within "The Way," an enigmatic organization also known as 2X2s or Church Without A Name. Through research and firsthand accounts, the book exposes the damaging effects of spiritual manipulation within The Way. R
