Teese Sale Reminder and a New Recipe!
The folks at Chicago Soy Dairy have a new blog called Go Vegan Go, where you can find some great recipe ideas using Teese. We want to share another one of our favorite Teese recipes with you, too. Straight from the Cosmo's Test Kitchen, here's our recipe for Vegan Stuffed "Chicken" Parm:

Vegan Stuffed "Chicken" Parm
serves 4 little mouths or 2 big mouths
1 lb. Match Ground "Chicken", thawed
1/2 cup grated Mozzarella Teese
2 Tbsp Chik-Style Seasoning, or other vegan "chicken style" seasoning
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp black pepper
1 cup unsweetened soy milk
2 cups vegan panko breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp brown mustard
oil for frying
First, heat up your skillet over medium heat.
Clean an area on your counter to spread out the Match Meat. A large, flat surface is best. Roll out the Match "chicken" into a large rectangle about 1/4" thick. Sprinkle about half of the seasonings over the Match Meat evenly, patting it in here and there. Flip your rectangle, and season up the other side.
Sprinkle the grated Teese over one side of the rectangle. Fold over your rectangle, sandwiching the Teese in the middle. Press the ends of the rectangle shut, and evenly cut into four equal-ish squares. Set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the soy milk with the mustard. In a second bowl, pour in the breadcrumbs. Dip each square into the soy milk mixture, then into the breadcrumbs, coating evenly. Toss into the hot skillet, and continue with the rest of your pieces. Brown evenly on each side, then serve on a bun with pizza sauce of your choice. This is great without a bun, too.

It's A Great Big Teese Sale! 25% OFF All Weekend!
Teese is a really versatile food! Just use Teese anywhere a smooth, cheese flavor is needed. The Creamy Cheddar flavor is awesome for macaroni & cheese, and the Mozzarella is perfect for pizza, lasagna, and more. Or whip up a big plate of nachos using the Teese Nacho flavor. There are more great recipe ideas on the Chicago Soy Dairy blog Go Vegan Go!
Here's a recipe from the Cosmo's Test Kitchen, using our favorite Teese flavor, Mozzarella.

Garlic & Mozzarella Quick Bread
Dry Ingredients:
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup plain soy milk
2/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp non dairy yogurt (we used plain coconut milk yogurt)
4-5 cloves worth of minced garlic
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella Teese
8-10 fresh basil leaves, cleaned and chopped into small pieces
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray two loaf pans with canola oil spray.
In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients including the minced garlic. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Sift or stir until well mixed. Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spoon or whisk. Mix until incorporated, but be careful not to over mix.
Fold in the shredded mozzarella and chopped basil. Pour batter into each loaf pan, filing each pan equally. Top the loaves with some sliced tomatoes for decoration, if you would like. I recommend using a less juicy type of tomato, like Roma.
Bake in the oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. let cool before slicing.

Now on to the wacky and junk-foody. Ladies and gentleman, we bring you Vegan Pork Rinds! We know it's weird, and we totally get that they're not the least bit healthy. However, for those of us (Leigh, for example) raised in the deep south, pork rinds are a common snack from our childhood. So if you're vegan and want a cruelty-free take on this common Georgia gas station food, then today is your lucky day! maybe you could keep the theme going and wash 'em down with some vegan jerky? Just don't live on the stuff. Like cookies, we suppose vegan pork rinds are also considered a "sometime food".
Oh, hey! Do you know about our little cookbook giveaway? We are drawing a winner today at 5:00 PM, so go enter if you want to win a nice vegan cookbook.

Friday Deal of the Day- "Chiken" Cutlets!
Labels: deal of the day
Yerkes Protest This Saturday!
This Saturday, Aug 15, , please join us to remember the animals being tortured and killed at Emory University and Yerkes Primate Center. And especially Wenka and the other elders who have been held in a 8x10 concrete bunker for over 50 years!!!
Where: We will meet at the Stone Gates in front of Emory. It is right across the street from Everybody’s Pizza. The address for EP is:
1593 N. Decatur Road
Atlanta, GA 30322 (I think the zip is right but you may want to verify it in case you’re mapquesting it).
When: Saturday, August 15, 2009
11:00 am to 1:00 pm
Why: This year we should not only remember Wenka and others who are tortured on a daily basis, but we have 2 very strong reasons to be there. One, the NIH, EPA and Toxicity Councils have agreed to end animal toxicity testing. And two, there is a movement in the House of Reps to end evasive testing on primates.
What else you can do: Please go to the following website. At the bottom of the story on the right hand side is a link to contact Sen. Kennedy who chairs the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Let him know how you feel about animal experimentation.
