Ummm...NO!

   I am all for trying new foods.  I really don't care what it is, if it is deemed edible, I shall at least give it a fair trial.  That does not mean I will like it but I shall try it..and try it several times.  No problems.  Still, there is a limit.  Some things are just not meant to be thrown together and called food.  Some ingredients just do not go together well and that can throw a person off of the dish.  I know.  I tried.  I did not find a certain recipe palatable.  In fact, I found it rather disgusting.  So...I asked Son to taste what I made.  He had about the same reaction.  This was not for us.

  Darling Daughter is a vegan so I am always on the lookout for tasty recipes that I can cook when she is here.  If something sounds like it has a good chance of being delicious, I will do a test run of the recipe.  Most turn out pretty decent.  Then there was this recipe for vegan "cheese sauce".  The reviews on the website all professed to how delightful this was.  I was stoked!  I needed to try this since I am a huge fan of anything cheesy.  I gathered the ingredients and followed the step by step directions.  Wow!  This really looked good!  The color was nice.  The texture was...ok.  Maybe the reviews were spot on!  Nope.

  My first taste of my non-cheese cheese sauce told me to ditch that recipe and never try again.  Son agreed.  This was not even a close imitation of cheese sauce.  Ummm...NO!  Just no.  The search will continue but I refuse to make this again.  (And, no, I will not share  the recipe nor website.  I am sure the person meant well by sharing their recipe and I am sure it is probably just my taste buds that found it to be not the best.  Just a hint...too much nutritional yeast can ruin a good recipe and this called for a LOT!)
