Vegan Mac & Cheese – Leels Cooks

I’m not vegetarian or vegan, but I’ve trying to work in more plant based meals and recipes into my regular routine. For better health, and also because lately I’ve found that I just haven’t been enjoying a lot of the meat focused meals I’ve been making, so I figured now would be a good time to experiment with some alternatives. I was *SHOCKED* by this recipe. I’ve always wanted to try it but would forget to grab the (absolutely essential) nutritional yeast from the store. Thankfully, I remembered while making a random Amazon order and threw it into the cart … Read more

Rosemary Garlic Romano Cheese Chickpea Fries – Leels Cooks

It’s another super long name but it’s yummy.Have you ever had polenta fries? This is a similar method but instead with chickpea flour. These don’t really taste like chickpea, more like the airiest, crispiest potato croquette you’ve ever had. I add in rosemary, garlic and romano cheese but you can absolutely customize these in any way you’d like. Swap out the spices/herbs, another dry hard cheese would work fine just be mindful of the ratio. Enjoy as an appetizer, snack or as a new side dish! This makes enough for 4 large servings What you need: 4 cups water 2 … Read more

Cheese Stuffed Pretzel Bites – Leels Cooks

When it comes to food weaknesses, soft pretzels are up there for me along with anything potato related and bubble tea. I make a  lot of quickly thrown together yeasted breads like this, and while it may seem daunting I encourage you to give them a try. They’re not as complicated as you think! I stuffed these with a higher moisture buffalo mozzarella, feel free to use any cheese you like, considering that the more moisture, the more likely they’ll explode/leak about in the oven. It’s all part of the experience though, and the nicer cheese you use, the better … Read more

Some also say we should be holding out until late fall or early winter to enjoy the deliciously pungent flavor of Roquefort, one of the world’s most beloved blue cheeses. Not according to Molly Browne, the dean of mongers at … Read more

Welsh Rarebit Dip – Beer Cheese – Leels Cooks

Welsh rarebit is traditionally served as a cheesy toast, but I thought I’d try something different. The concept isn’t outlandish, since beer-cheese dips already exist, but this one takes it a bit further with more adult flavours. Sharp cheese, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce and a dark beer gives it a dynamic flavour and lots of depth. I wouldn’t feed this to the kids, but it’s a great way to switch up the usual beer-cheese we see everywhere.I also added some fontina to this recipe as it’s a great melting cheese that is very mild to break up some of the … Read more
