I loved the interaction between you both at the end so funny. I feel the same way as Bryan does about vegan cheese. Thanks for the recipe.

[BrentMurrell]

You have such incredible on-camera charisma and your recipes are SO GOOD. Wishing you the best!

[suzettajayne]

Yep found you through Jeremy. And so glad 😊

[HappyHungryHibby]

Dunk it! Especially in those black tortilla chips! Vegan Roiux… love it!!! The balance of video editing is just incredible. Your videos are truly professional. Definitely will be freezing this and shredding. Invested in a chest freezer in our garage. It looks so versatile. I wonder what it would be like on pizza. Keep up the great work Kathryn & Brian, great banter. Best Regards, James

Yummy 😋 vegan cheese sauce Kathryn and I don't use cheese in my vegan cheese sauce. I have tried carrot and white beans (cannellini) with soya milk (other plant based alternatives are suitable). Jeremy's channel is awesome just like TastyThriftyTimely. I am having a day off from a video today but will have one up on Wednesday. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Kathryn & ❤ Bryan.

Looks good ; may I suggest replacing vegan butter with coconut oil and the flour for potato starch to get less of a roux flavour ?

[blofeld]

This looks so delectable! 🙂Glad to see you're back; hope you're all right.

I am curious, what sort of camera set-up do you and Bryan have? It's very steady, allows a lot of movement, etc; is it just handheld? Always looks amazing.

Also: MORE banter! MORE! 😀

only you have the capacity to make us realize there could be an emergency cheese need !! 🤣 thank ♥♥

[jackiesibblis]

Nice Kathryn. Great for pizza. Any substitute for the butter?
Trying to keep my fats low. Thanks

Basically it’s a béchamel sauce with nutritional yeast and spices: smart!!

Can you use other types of flour if gluten free?

Years ago, I woke up and realized my mouth guard had fallen out of my mouth during sleep. I looked around and saw Gretel, my mini Schnauzer, chomping on it; it was in several pieces by then.
