Teese Sale Reminder and a New Recipe!

The great big Teese sale is in progress! Save 25% off all flavors of Teese Vegan Cheese from now through Sunday.

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.

Stock up on Teese this weekend at 25% off!

It's A Great Big Teese Sale! 25% OFF All Weekend!

The Teese sale we told you about yesterday is officially on! Save a whopping 25% off all flavors of Teese vegan cheese by Chicago Soy Dairy from now through Sunday.

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.

Grab some Teese today for only $3.75 per tube!
