Poutine
Continuing with the Chicago Soy Dairy Teese blog challenge, my next creation hails from our neighbors to the north. Perhaps the greatest gift the Canadians ever gave the world, poutine is the ingenious combination of french fries, gravy, and cheese curds. [...]

Portabella Teese Steaks
Recently the folks at Chicago Soy Dairy were kind enough to send out some samples of their tasty vegan cheese, Teese, to those of us in the vegan blogosphere to see what we could come up with outside of the usual pizza or lasagna. Here is the first of what I came up with, more [...][...]
