  I made cheese sauce earlier this week so the boys could have steamy nachos like in the Steamy Nachos song (Jerry was a racecar driver by Primus).

  It turned out quite well, and it’s easy to make. Essentially a roux with a bunch of grated cheese mixed in. Here’s the recipe

    We use cheese sauce to cover veggies!

      I was thinking this with the sauce itself, once recipe called for putting a bunch of vegetables in the sauce. Or I could make the vegan version I found which seems to be slow cooked vegetables mashed up. Maybe I can treat it like the savoury version of a smoothie for them.

    Have a look at queso recipes if you want inspo to tweak it a bit.

    Nice. What brand of chips do you use?

    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I use the fancy Mission chips. They’re thicker and can take things like dip better

  My ongoing quest to create an edible/satisfying gluten (oat) free porridge continues. The current mix uses polenta+chia for the stickiness, rice flakes+millet for texture and coconut+ground up almond for yums. It’s ok but the millet takes way too much soaking and cooking to get soft. I might try to source some aramath instead.

  I found a pretty good store bought one but it’s not cheap so I’m using their ingredients as a starting point for my experiments. The polenta was a good addition.

    Is rice based ‘porridge’ a go? It’s not really the same but cheap

    I grow amaranth in the garden. Pretty stuff, and it grows really easily.

      Amaranth seeds might be harder to harvest in quantity from home growing compared to leaves though. (I friggin love amaranth leaves)

    Have you tried buckwheat porridge? It’s commonly eaten in Easter European countries, where it’s called Kasha. Buckwheat is not related to wheat, it’s gluten free.

      Yeah I like buckwheat porridge. Just wanted to branch out a bit this winter

    Are you soaking it overnight, maybe even 24hrs?

    Is porridge meant to be sticky?

    I make a smooth porridge with quick oats and water. Quick oats are precooked. Then I might add some sultanas, chopped banana, brown sugar, butter, milk

    • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Er, quick oats are not pre-cooked. They are rolled thinner and ground up smaller so they cook very quickly. That is all. Unless the packet says of course.

      Sticky is probably not the right word, I find non oat porridges all a bit grainy in texture unless I do a quick blitz with the stick blender. Unfortunately oats are not for me anymore
