Jumping on the Bandwagon

Well I am happy to say that the hubs is home safe and sound and now I can actually sleep through the night. I don't know what happened to me. When I was single living alone, I had no problem staying by myself. Not a worry in the world.  Now,  I am such a weeny!! I dead bolt all the doors and try not watch all my favorite crime shows. I know my bud ABBY can relate. Does anyone else do this? Women that is.
Anyway, after a much needed store run, I came home with this product.

Yes, I know, I've jumped on the food blogger bandwagon. Just like OIAJ, green monsters, overnight oats, and yada yada yada. But I just had to see if this gluten free, soy free, dairy free cheese actually melted and tasted good!
So it was time to put it to the test with my Cotter Curry Mash.
Cotter Curry Mash
1.5 cups cooked brown rice/wild rice pilaf
1 cup butternut squash puree
diced celery
1 tsp minced garlic
black pepper and sea salt-to taste
curry powder (we like a lot but this depends on your preference)
3/4 cup diced apple smoked chicken sausage (vegans could use tempeh as well)
1/2 cup DAIYA mozzarella

Directions-
Cook your chicken sausage first and then set aside. Then cook the rice as directed and right before your rice is fully cooked add in the rest of your ingredients. Let it sit on medium heat until celery is cooked and cheese is melted. Doesn't take very long.


 
Add any other additional seasonings (like more curry, haha.) and enjoy! I served it with a big brown rice tortilla and side salad.
Oh and guess what.....DAIYA was AWESOME! Melted perfectly and oh so creamy!! I know many of you have used DAIYA before. Do share your creations.

Well, its Glee time! Poor hubs has to sit through it.
Cheers,
