OK, OK, I’ve been tres lame on updating the old blogio. What can I say, running a home, a business, and preparing for becoming a foster parent is a bit trying. However, here’s a lil’ something to tide you over. Was talking to sister Dede this a.m. about her new low sodium diet and she seemed pretty bummed about it. We started talking about things that taste ’salty’ but that aren’t, and we started talking about nutritional yeast flakes. Now, if ever a product needed a marketing department to rename it, that’s it. Seriously, this stuff tastes awesome–cheesy goodness for noodles, toppings, I even have a ‘quesadilla’ recipe that uses it (will post soon…). Anyhoo, I came up with a recipe using this wonder product based on this one to make fried green tomatoes. I added the nutritional yeast to the flour in a 50:50 ratio, and passed on the bread crumb step. I also added minced garlic to the dry mixture, and dill to the wet (but could add to dry I suppose). Used organic green and red heirloom tomatoes from the local CSA Be Wise Ranch. Enjoy!
