So, I am trying to eat healthier snacks. After recently learning a great popcorn technique from Simply Recipe [Read it here! Learn!], I decided to have some of these yummy whole grains after my walk. However, I thought a few pats of butter might be a bit counterproductive. So I tried my new purchase, really going into Hippie territory: nutritional yeast, or "nooch," as the "in" Vegans call it. So I'm munching on it as I blog. And you know what? It's not bad! For those of you who haven't heard of it, this is not yeast yeast. From Wikipedia: "It is a deactivated yeast, usually Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is produced by culturing the yeast with a mixture of sugarcane and beet molasses, then harvesting, washing, drying and packaging the yeast. It is commercially available in the form of flakes,photo or as a yellow powder similar in texture to cornmeal, and can be found in the bulk aisle of most natural food stores."
And you thought it was gross! So, I had read in about a billion places how good it is on popcorn. Fine, agreed. Any other uses you have enjoyed?

About Me
- Maggie
- I am a 27-year-old living in Philadelphia's Art Museum area with my new husband. We just bought a house, and that takes a lot of our energy, but what's left definitely goes into food. I love to cook and bake, I love restaurants, and generally I love to eat. We are a meat-free household (except for the pets), though we'll eat a bit of fish when we're out. I am passionate about learning to live green and learning to be body-positive. I'm much more interested in nutrition and taste than in calories. Also, I'm learning to love Philadelphia, and that will probably come up a lot in my blog. I hope to get to know people through here too, so say hello!
