I don’t know why your channel isn’t more popular! All of your videos are legit gold! I have been vegan for 8 almost 9 years and I learned about veganism on YouTube and pretty much my only vegan community is on youtube. I only recently discovered your channel, but I am so grateful! I love the realistic and simplistic way you do things! It’s so refreshing to see someone with a big family making plant based living so accessible. This video alone is so helpful because like you said so many people don’t want to give up cheese, but it’s really not good for us or our health. Plus we are so lucky to have so many ways to transform plant based whole foods into cheesy goodness. Also your kiddos are super adorable I love seeing their reactions to all the vegan goodies! Especially the ice cream haha I always lick my bowl clean too 😂💜 Keep up the amazing work vegan super mama! Also I can’t wait to try making my own cheese and yogurt I have everything I need to make them both yay! Thank you so much for sharing! Blessings and gratitude to you and your family! 🌼💕🌼💓

I make various cheeses like this at home. If you freeze them, you can shred them and then sprinkle them on like regular cheese. I use a salad shooter to shred. You have to keep them in the freezer. My store them in a Ziploc bag so I can bang it on the counter to break it up before using. I am loving all your recipes.

Thanks 👍 Ali for sharing vegan dairy alternatives. Dairy was the hardest thing to give up when I went vegan/plant based but thankfully alternatives exist now. Giving up animal based foods has been the best lifestyle decision I have made, I only regret I didn't do it sooner. Love 🥰 the video and love ❤️ Ali and family.

I do appreciate all you do for us! My husband had quadruple bypass surgery, so that is what plunged us into a plant based diet 5 years ago. We also avoid coconut milk due to the high saturated fat content. When I really want that creamy coconut flavor, I sub with soy milk, arrowroot powder, and coconut extract. Works like a charm!

Your tofu Alfredo was a game changer for me. I had tried so many sauces and didn’t like them but I LOVE that one. I did adjust it a little by using silken extra firm tofu because I think it’s creamier for sauces. I also figured out how to make other sauces from it like a cheese sauce and sour cream. The tofu and a little cashew and plant milk combo is a perfect base for me. So thank you!!

that is why vegan is best. not harming animals is the most important reason of all.

I have a massive problem with this video! What to try first! Fantastic!

Great video!! After blending all the ingredients for the mozz, try adding some more beans or oat flour, if necessary, to make it the consistency of a thin batter, then instead of cooking it in the pot separately, just just pour or drizzle it onto the pizza and it will set in the oven. It may not seem as stretchy but it tastes the same and is soooo much easier! Also, if you are making that whipped cream for your hubby, it's not at all heart healthy because coconut is loaded with saturated fat. A much safer option for him would be to whip aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) with some sugar, vanilla, and cream of tartar. You can even bake it into meringue cookies! And great tip about making mayo out of yogurt! It is so much healthier and tastes great with a bit of dijon and kala namak (black salt.... a sulphur, eggy salt you can get online or from an Indian market. A great addition to chickpea flour for eggless omelets, potato or macaroni, salads, and so on.

Please always stay so down to earth, because you are so sweet. I have been Vegan for years and I still watch every video of you and learn new things (or remember things I forgot about).
Your channel will grow I hope you always stay how you are. Because you are a joy too watch.

I’m so glad this came up on my feed! I’ve been struggling with dairy free for about a year and a half. And I finally decided to see about making cheese.

I won’t be using your recipes with tapioca starch or cornstarch because they are hot Carb (I follow a low carb diet.)

But I’ve struggled to make rip topping from coconut milk. Now I see that I didn’t probably whip it enough.

Can’t wait to see what else you have.

Thank you for sharing another wonderful video. I look forward to seeing your videos all week, and appreciate all of your hard work in making them. Take care. 😊

New here🤗 I’m so happy you watch the saturated fats. Strokes run in my family, my dad was 46 when he had his. He is now 72🙏 He always watches his saturated fats. I, at 49 yrs old, have elevated lipoprotein little a. Im trying to eat more plant base. Its a struggle, but Im trying. I just made your cheese powder for mac and cheese. you are brilliant. Please keep stuff coming like this. I use pure stevia to sweeten things. I don’t know if that’s good or not🤔 My husband is pre diabetic, so we got to try to take better care of ourselves ❤️ Im going to try the ice cream 😊 would love to see more ice cream recipes, high protein meals and quick grab and go high protein vegan snacks❤️christy from va

Tip for spreading the mozzarella cheese on pizza.
Freeze it, then grate onto pizza!

[jeanninek.campbell]

Holy Moly. This Mac n Cheese is over the top delicious! And she is not joking, super easy! AND you have prep for a second batch for another time! This recipe just bumped to the top of my “bring a recipe to share” Go To list! You are killing it @Alisia!

[ardishafdahl]

I love the soy milk from TJs. My 38 year old son was arguing with me about soy milk having all the additives - I said not so with TJs! He couldn’t believe it and had to check it out. Win goes to mama! ❤😂

[jccastle]

Awesome video. You are a literally... Thank you.

[teachmetostyle]

Love your videos. Would love to see you do an Aldi haul and show how u used the items. Preferably a week haul with week meals

[nolow_life]

"you can milk a cow or you can milk almonds" yep, also.. almonds aren't sentient, don't need to be force impregnated, and don't need to be separated from their children in order to be milked 💚

In the rare instance someone has night shade allergies and can't have tapioca, experimenting with psyllium husks powder can get the same melty feature. It'll be a softer cheese, and the color may be off putting to some, but I just like to share that as an option. Having a milk and night shade allergies make finding or making alternatives very difficult.

[karenzielke]

Thank you for this video. There is a typo in the printed recipe for the mozzarella cheese. The video states 1/4 cup tapioca starch; the printed recipe calls for 1 1/4 cups tapioca starch. Can't wait to try the pizza! Thanks.
