  • Dusty had to go out again after the chat so I have 16,000 steps total wooooooooo!
  • Thank you all for loving on Casey and Allan! Casey just had her 16 week checkup and the baby is doing great.  Allan is getting ready to start a new job…6 pound lighter thanks to you amazing ladies and WW!
  • Can you make That Man’s Chicken with breasts because I don’t like dark meat or want fewer points? We made it and it was great!  Find the That Man’s Chicken recipe found here but substitute boneless skinless chicken breast tenderloins.  Cook on 360 degrees for 10 minutes turning half way through
  • Casey and Allan also had my Air Fryer Candy Corn which is a favorite at our loft…find the recipe here
  • For those of you who wanted to watch the Surprise Live Chat with the Instant Pot that we did at Popcorn Karan’s you can see it here
  • What is Nutritional Yeast? It’s Nutritional Yeast!  I know smarty pants, the kind I use is Bragg Nutritional Yeast or Trader Joe’s.  It’s inactive dry yeast.  So I’m thinking it was yeast that didn’t grown up….and somebody tasted it…and you know how those things get out of hand and then we get things like Velcro and sticky notes.  But it also has Inactive Dry Yeast; Niacin; B3; B6; Riboflavin; Thiamin; Folic Acid and B12.  Vegan, Kosher, Gluten Free, Salt Free, Sugar Free…It tastes like Parmesan and Panko had a baby!

  • Where do you get Nutritional Yeast? I live in East Tennessee and I have found it at Trader Joe’s, Kroger in the baking or organic section, Ingles near the other yeast.  You can also get it on Amazon, or directly from bragg.com.  If you’ve found it in your neck of the woods please shout out where for others who are looking.  Funny side note:  as of this chat we have sold out stores in Maryland, Tennessee, Texas and we have Canadians driving across the border to empty the shelves so buy it if you find it!
  • Why do you eat Nutritional Yeast? My mom is vegan and was using this as a supplement to her diet and was feeding it to me on Saturday nights.  She was using it as a supplement for her, but I kept on eating it because it’s absolutely delicious…it tastes like panko and parmesan had a baby!
  • How many points does Nutritional Yeast have? Well….until this week I would have said none.  But I found two brands that do!  Bragg, Trader Joe’s and Bob’s Red Mill are 0 Smart Points for 1 Tbsp.  Red Star brand and Twin Lab brand are 1 SP for 1 Tbsp.  Knowledge is power!
  • Do you store it in the refrigerator? I do because our loft cabinets are very warm but you don’t have to.  Do keep it in a cool dark place though
  • How much does it cost? Anywhere from $3 to $12 depending on where you buy it
  • What do you make with it?
