The food above was from last week when my brother and his wife, my niece and nephew came up. I have a pic of my nephew as well, but he is a teen and I didn't ask his permission to post it.. so I didn't. I obviously got permission to post some pics of Arwen. What am amazing baby she is. 10 months old and still exclusively breastfed.. and such a chunk!.. and so amazingly aware.
So, most of you know that I've been working my my cheez recipe and it is getting better and better each time! I figured out how to get holes! The taste is fabulous... but it's not perfect yet... I imagine it will take me at least 6 months to get the perfection I am looking for. I will say it's better than tofutti... and rivals Sheese now.... but I KNOW it will be better!
Wow, the cheese looks cool--holes? You're amazing!
ReplyDeleteArwen is such a precious girl, and I'm so glad you were able to share her adorable face with us! And all that food--what a feast.
I'm so glad we got to see Arwen's precious face. She's so adorable I just want to squeeze her tightly and pinch her cheeks. I don't know if I could contain myself around her.
ReplyDeleteYou are so awesome Melody. I can't believe you have holes in your cheese.
you've definitely mastered the art of vegan 'cheese' - I love how authentic the swiss looks with the holes, haha! gorgeous family photos, as well

ReplyDeletei have sworn off store bought cheeses as they're never near what i want them to be and i've yet to find recipes that really get at what i'm looking for. yours looks perfect.
well done!
Do you need any recipe testers (tasters?) for that swiss? Count me in!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were from Iowa - I miss it too sometimes, especially in the summer when it's so hot and slow and beautiful there.
