Simple & Healthy Vegan Cheesy Potatoes by the Blueprint

Simple & Healthy Vegan Cheesy Potatoes by the Blueprint was a favorite of our kids growing up. It is also another recipe that you can make for two days as it still tastes good reheated the next day.

As far as the ingredients and amounts it is totally up to you. I love basil and put a lot of it in almost every recipe. The combination of onion powder and garlic powder can help reduce the amount of salt you use as it helps make things taste salty.

For the vegan sour cream, we like the tofutti brand the best, but there are plenty other brands to use, just find the one you like the best. You don’t need much. A little goes a long way and if you use too much your cheesy potatoes will end up too mushy and will taste a little off.

Bible Quotes

Genesis 1:29 

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

Genesis 1:30

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

Spirit of Prophecy Quotes (Ellen White)

My appetite left me some time before I went to the East. But now it has returned; and I am very hungry when mealtime comes. My thistle greens, nicely cooked, and seasoned with sterilized cream and lemon juice, are very appetizing. I have vermicelli-tomato soup one meal and greens the next. I have begun again to eat potato meal. My food all tastes good. I am like a fever patient who has been half-starved, and I am in danger of overeating.—Letter 10, 1902 { CD 324.1} (Ellen White, Counsels on Diet and Foods, page 324, paragraph 1)
