Apple & Cheddar Scones
Submitted by Anonymous on November 7, 2012 - 4:18pmMix your dairy-free milk alternative with apple cider vinegar and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Cut in margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ‘buttermilk’ until crumbs are moistened. Next, gently fold in your Daiya Cheddar Style Shreds and diced apple. Place dough onto a generously floured surface and knead until dough is a smooth consistency and no longer sticks to your hands. Divide dough into two equal sized portions and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment. Pat each ball into circles about ¾ in. thick. Score rounds into 8 pie-shaped pieces and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400° for 20 minute or until golden brown.

Submitted by Anonymous on November 6, 2012 - 2:01pmBring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and and splash of vegetable oil, cook about 6 minutes or until al dente. Drain the pasta - do not rinse.
On medium heat, in a saucepan, melt the Earth Balance. Next, whisk in the nutritional yeast and paprika. Then add in the garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder and almond milk. Stir until combined and the liquid starts to thicken. Add in the Daiya and whisk. The sauce will begin to thicken even more, which is good. Continue to stir the sauce on medium heat until smooth. Lastly, add a little salt and pepper to taste.
Add the pasta to the saucepan of cheesy goodness and mix until combined. Enjoy!

Flaky Vegan Veggie Pizza
Submitted by Anonymous on July 18, 2012 - 11:58am• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Blanch the asparagus (Briefly boil and then plunge into ice water bath, this will retain the bright green and tender-crisp texture). Cut up the asparagus into bite size pieces.
• Combine olive oil and truffle oil into a small bowl.
• Take a piece of phyllo and lay it flat on a cookie sheet. Using a pastry brush (or the back of a spoon), brush oil lightly over the entire surface. Lay another piece of phyllo on top, brush with oil, and lightly sprinkle Daiya over the surface. Keep adding layers, alternating with and without cheese until you’ve reached the eighth layer with cheese (every second layer with cheese).
• Add sliced onion, tomato, mushrooms, spinach, asparagus on top of the cheesy layer. If there is any oil left, it can be brushed over the top of the veggies.
• Finish by sprinkling the veggies with fresh basil and sea salt and pepper to taste.
• Bake for about 15 minutes, just so the edges of the pastry turn golden.
