*Nutritional yeast is a vegan's best friend for a quick cheesy fix. It looks like yellow flakes and has a kinda odd smell. It doesn't taste quite like cheese but it's a great substitution. If you can't find it or aren't ready to try it, no biggie just leave it out. Nutritional yeast can be found at health food stores or upscale grocers. I got mine at sprouts.
**Hemp seeds are another a great source of protein and gives dishes a slightly nutty flavor. Small bags can go for as much as $11 so don't stress if you can't find any, leaving it out won't hurt the dish. However, I was able to find a bag at Trader Joe's for just $5.99!
