About Namely Marly:
Hi, I’m Marly McMillen, and it’s my honor to show you my favorite vegan recipes that I’ve created just for you. After years of struggling with issues like IBS and disordered eating, transitioning to a vegan diet made ALL THE DIFFERENCE for me. I love the way I feel and eat these days! I focus on a varied diet combining delicious healthy foods + indulgences. It keeps my day-to-day eating fun, interesting, and wholesome. I want you to share in the food and life journey with me!

I immediately knew what it was! My mom is just beginning to eat more plant-based and she keeps calling it “traditional yeast“ 😂😂😂
I think I like your mom's way of saying it WAY better. Traditional yeast is downright adorable!
@@hartplanet356 Good point! But I think she was referring to how her mom mispronounced nutritional. Sounds like something I would do so it made me laugh! 😂
My popcorn mix: nooch, garlic powder, paprika, sometimes a little hot chili powder. For cheese sauces: cashews or white beans or a mix as a base, nooch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, red miso paste (really makes a difference), mustard, lactic acid, salt, white pepper + plant milk or water or both. For vegan parm, I also have found cashews to be better than almond meal, plus nooch, garlic powder, onion powder, red miso paste, lactic acid, white pepper, salt. The seasoning amounts are to taste, but largest ingredient of course is the nooch down to much smaller amounts of things like lactic acid, salt and pepper. The key is tasting and remember you can always add more, but can't take it out once it's blended. Once you get the basics figured out, it is easy to whip up a batch of any of these and eyeball the measurements. For cheese sauce, I will add a little ACV if it isn't tart enough, for instance, if I throw in some oat milk it can get a little sweet. And for an "egg" scramble, add some black salt, kala namak (it's not black in color) when it is all done cooking - if you add it during cooking, you will lose much of the flavor, it is very volatile.
Wow, thank you for sharing your awesome popcorn mix and cheese sauce recipes! Your creativity with nooch and other ingredients is inspiring. I especially love the addition of red miso paste for that extra umami kick - definitely going to give that a try! And your tips about tasting as you go and adjusting the seasonings are spot on. It's all about finding that perfect balance, right? Thanks again for sharing your expertise! 🌱😊
When I saw the popcorn in the thumbnail, I thought, “nutritional yeast!”. I love it on popcorn. 🍿
You're so right, June! We are on the same wavelength. Yes, it's so good on popcorn. I sprinkle it on so many dishes when I want a cheesy punch!
By you @@Namelymarlyt
@@juliebodziak1546 Thanks Julie! 😀
Ditto here❤
I love to spray my popcorn with pickle juice and then sprinkle nooch on it. 😊
I never would have thought of pickle juice, but I think it's a great idea. I'm definitely going to try that! 🤩
Brilliant. I have struggle with figuring out how to get the nooch to stick without using vegan margerine or butter.
@@NancyCronk I agree, Nancy. The pickle juice is a great idea!
When I’m trying to replicate that tanginess dairy provides I use vegan lactic acid. Takes it to a whole new level!
Great idea to add lactic acid! Gives it that mmmmph factor! 😂
Where can you find vegan lactic acid?
@@peggyrivera3964 I’ve purchased it online from The Modernist Pantry but I’m sure it’s available from other online sources. I’ve never seen it in any of my local brick and mortar stores.
@@peggyrivera3964 Most lactic acid is already vegan because it's made using plants. This is an affiliate link to lactic acid if you'd like to check it out as part of your shopping around experience 🌺: amzn.to/3z3ze3Q
That's so funny........that was my first thought and I am not even Vegan. I like the smell and the taste of it.
I love how you immediately thought of that...and how some ingredients just have the smell and taste factor. It just goes to show how great plant-based ingredients can be! 🌱😊
Two of my favorite vegan secret ingredients are cashews (soaked and blended for creamy soups and dressings) and ground flax seed soaked in water (or plant milk) to replace egg in recipes.
I am WFPB and nutritional yeast is a staple in my kitchen. Thanks for the two great recipes. I can not wait to try these.
Fantastic! I'm so glad nooch is a staple in your kitchen. It's such a versatile and nutritious ingredient, isn't it? I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipes, and I hope they add some deliciousness to your WFPB meals. Let me know how they turn out for you! Happy cooking! 🌱😊
I am not a vegan but have been adding nooch to popcorn for a long time now. Got it to try to make a cheese sauce once (IBS issues in the family). Was not to bad, but I mostly use it for popcorn, and to put on pizza and pasta. I use strait up nooch, but might try it with some almond meal for the parmesan.
I do love ranch flavored things, but most have MSG in them, and we have a family member with strong sensitivity/allergy to it. So I never have any. I will for sure try the ranch mix. And yes, it needs dill. I wonder if citric acid or dehydrated lemon zest could add that tang needed.
Great video.
Thanks for sharing your experience with using nooch! It's great to hear that you've found creative ways to incorporate it into your snacks and meals, especially considering your family's dietary needs.
I'm glad you're excited to try the ranch mix! You could definitely experiment with citric acid for that tangy flavor - sounds like a delicious idea! Thanks for watching and for your thoughtful comment. Happy snacking! 🍿🍕🌱
This recipe ruined my dinner! (in a good way)😂 My intent was to make the salad dressing but first I had to try it on a few nachos. That led to trying on a few chips which les to trying it on pecan halves. Now I’m no longer hungry for my salad!😂 - Thank you for the delicious recipe. I think this will become a stsple in my kitchen.
You had me for a second! 😆 Haha, I love hearing that the recipe took over your dinner plans in the best way possible! I'm so happy you enjoyed it so much and that it's going to become a staple in your kitchen. Thanks for sharing your experience, and happy cooking! 🥗🎉
Thanks for the warning 😜
I've been using Nooch for a long time. I love it!!
I'm so glad to see this, Barbara! We're in the nooch fan club together! ❤
Im with Sean (Shawn?), disliking vinegar. Looove nooch. Been using it since i got a cookbook from The Farm (vegan community), in 1975. Use in so many different recipes (our pizza cheez!) but our fave is on popcorn...so addictive! TFS!! You're beautiful.
Thanks so much for your kind words! I'll let Shawn know he's got a friend here who shares his disdain for vinegar. Haha. So glad to see you've been in the nooch fan club for awhile! 🌺
You have shared some amazing tips here. QUESTION: what can I substitute for almond meal. Due to the high oxalate count in almonds, I can't eat them.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you found the tips helpful. As for substituting almond meal, there are several options you can try depending on your dietary needs. You might consider using: coconut flour, cashew or hazelnut meal, sunflower seed meal, or pumpkin seed meal. I haven't tried any of these, but I imagine each option would bring its own unique flavor and texture. Experimenting with different substitutes can be a fun way to personalize your dishes. Hope this helps!
Could chick pea flour substitute?
Thank you so much. Especially as a dressing. Most oil free dressings are nasty and because I make giant salads for dinner I end up using too much dressing. Lots of calories and stuff this a gift. My salads consist of 12-16 ingredients. I usually just sprinkle on nutritional yeast.
I KNEW you were going to say nooch! Would a little lemon or lime zest be a good replacement for the soy milk powder?
It's a great idea! I have some dehydrated lemon zest. I will give it a try, but I think it could really work!
❤️Love Your Recipe ❤️
Thank you so much, Linda! I'm so glad you like it! 🌸
Your complexion is really healthy and radiant must be the healthy vegan diet
Thanks! It's so kind of you to say that and means a lot. I do credit my plant-based diet, but I also follow some healthy skin care tips. And foundation. Maybe that's the true secret. Haha.
@@Namelymarly its the vegan glow
@@yiyisun4607 🥰
NOOCH! NO nooch at any of the stores near me. Very rural.
I feel ya! I grew up very rural (town of 1,000 people!). Those stores don't carry much. But the good news is that it lasts a long time. So next time you're in the city, you can get a whole bunch of it!
@@Namelymarly I usually buy a large amount on Amazon. The only BIG city near me is 60 miles away! The "city" where I go is 20 miles and the other is 25.
@@karleedu That's a great idea. Wow, you really are rural! I'm jealous of your night sky - I bet you can see the milky way. We have to drive quite a ways to get a dark enough sky for that!
I'm not vegan, never have been, and I've been using the stuff for 30 years.
Yay! I'm so glad it's making its way to omnivore's kitchens too. So many people I talk to have never heard of it! You are among the enlightened! 🌷
Vegan cool ranch chips in a baggie!!!!💚💚💚💚 thanks for showing these to save money!🎉🎉🎉
Yes, saving money is always a goal! So glad you liked this recipe! ❤
Hi! Just saw your channel this morning for the first time. I have used nutritional yeast flakes not on a regular basis. I understand that it is a good source of vitamin B 12. ?
Hi Jaycee! So nice to meet you! Yes, most nutritional yeast flakes have been fortified with B12 making them a great source for this important nutrient. You can buy unfortified (or is it non-fortified???) nooch, but I think it's harder to find and probably more expensive as a result. 🌺
I have powdered coconut milk, would that work instead of the powdered soy, or would that not give it the tang to which you're referring?
I think powdered coconut milk would add too much coconut flavor. Others here have mentioned using lemon zest to get that tangy flavor.
Nutritional yeast
Yes! That's a great one!! ❤
Nooch, black salt, liquid smoke, aquafaba, and Nextmilk make transitioning to veganism easy.
These are all great vegan essentials for the kitchen! Love it! Maybe I should do a video on kitchen essentials?🌺
Wonderful Tips! Thank you for sharing. 🌻
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you found the tips helpful. If you have any questions or if there's anything else you'd like to see, feel free to let me know. Happy cooking! 🌱😊
I use that all the time. I am fully aware of nutritional yeast
That's great! We are in the nooch fan club! 🤗
nooch of course!! But I love popcorn in the whirley-pop so much that I don't bother with it because it doesn't stick very well and it ain't cheap. I buy unfortified which oddly is a lot more than fortified.
Hi Marge! I hear you about the sticking issue, especially with the Whirley-Pop method. Have you tried lightly spraying the popcorn with a bit of oil? Do you notice a difference in taste or texture between the fortified vs unfortified? Thanks again for your input!
@@Namelymarly Hi Marly, I read something but didn't save the link about how synthetic nutrients such as folic acid aren't doing us any favors and that nonfortified nooch is better. The first brand I bought was Foods Alive and I found it very lacking in taste. I then bought Sari, which I love. I also bought Well Your World nooch, which is great and slightly cheaper than Sari. Fortified/nonfortified, I see no difference in texture. I think nonfortified is slighter lighter in color. And again, taste depends on the brand.
I don't keep spray oil in the house so haven't tried spraying the popcorn and then adding nooch. I do use coconut oil in the whirley-pop and love the aroma and have a feeling it adds nothing to the taste. Never tried it plain. I'm lucky to have zero craving for more flavor, and I don't mind saving my nooch money!
Love my Whirley-pop! And yeast flakes!
Date syrup
Yes, date syrup is another great choice! It's such a versatile and delicious option, perfect for adding a natural sweetness to recipes. Thanks for sharing your fav, and I hope it will inspire others to give it a try. Cheers to the magic of vegan ingredients! 🌱✨
Oh goodness every week and I know has heard of nutritional yeast
Ah, it sounds like nutritional yeast is a regular part of your kitchen routine! It's great to hear that it's such a familiar ingredient for you and your community. I appreciate your perspective - it just goes to show how different our experiences can be with ingredients depending on our backgrounds and preferences. Thanks for sharing! 🌱😊
THANK YOU for pronouncing Parmesan correctly!
I cringe when ever I hear "parme-john" which is a lot these days 😂
And thank you thank you for the great recipes. I already made the Parmesan-like mix to put on my pasta dishes this week!
I totally get you! Although I confess I do my fair share of mispronunciations. My hubby, Shawn, is on the scene and always helping me out. 😂
nutritional yeast
You got it! It's such a great ingredient! 🌺
Nutritional yeast.
You're right! It's my favorite sneaky vegan ingredient!
Can I take it that you could use dried oat milk instead of Soy milk?
Absolutely, you can use dried oat milk or dried coconut milk. I'm not sure it will give that same tangy flavor. Some folks have recommended adding lactic acid powder or even dried lemon zest. I hope this helps!
@@Namelymarly An update: Just made it with the dried oat milk and I added some lemon salt to the mix -
- it was delicious! Thanks for posting.
@@JosephineG101 Thanks so much letting me know. Sounds delicious and I love the idea of adding lemon salt! 🍋
Is the recipe written down somewhere?
Mooch!!!
You guessed it! 🤗
Perhaps non-vegans haven't heard of it...but of course, vegans have heard of and use nutritional yeast.
You're absolutely right! Nutritional yeast is a staple in many vegan kitchens, thanks to that yummy cheesy flavor. I agree many non-vegans haven't heard of it, but it's such a familiar friend to those of us in the vegan community. Thanks for highlighting that distinction! 🌱😊
Almond meal is very expensive. I make my Parmesan with cashew ground cashews and I think it tastes so much better than almond flour. Then forget the black salt why don't you add for the cheesy flavor a little bit of white pepper and the nutritional yeast. Try all that combination and you'll ditch your recipe and I think you'd like this one better
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and suggestions! It's interesting to hear about your experience with cashews. I find them to be pretty pricey, but I imagine ingredient availability and pricing can vary widely depending on where you are.
My recipe uses nutritional yeast flakes for that delicious cheesy flavor. While I didn't include black salt, I appreciate your recommendation to try white pepper alongside the nutritional yeast. It's always fun to explore different variations and find what works best for our individual tastes. Thanks for your input! 🌱😊
I only like unfortified nootch and it’s harder to find.
Have you found some good places to find it?
@@Namelymarly I usually get it on Amazon. I can’t find it in stores around me. The brands Sari and Nootchilicious are my favs.
@@maigallop Thanks so much!
@@Namelymarly my pleasure.
Just wondering if your recipes in your cookbook contain oil as I avoid it as much as possible. Thanks.
Thanks for checking with me. Yes, the recipes in my cookbook do include oil, but if you decide to buy it, send me an email and I'd be happy to work with you to eliminate the oil in the recipes in question. marly at namelymarly dot com.
@@Namelymarly awesome. Thanks so very much
Is parsley, dill fresh or dried 🤔
Great question! I used dried herbs because fresh herbs could cause the seasoning to clump. I should have clarified that in the video.
Thank you for answering 😊, that's what I thought, but the parsley looked so green I had doubts about it 😉
@@marzenawasilewski8075 Yes, I agree, that parsley did look green. It was a brand new container so maybe that's why!
I don’t use ANY oil. What could I use instead?
If you're trying to get the nooch or other ingredients to stick to your popcorn, someone else recommended spraying the popcorn with pickle juice. Alternatively, you could use Braggs or something like that. I hope this helps!
I spray with water and it works fine.
@@hoovercj53 So simple! I love it!
If it’s nutritional yeast then you should probably know that has releases excessive glutamate.
Thanks for letting me know. Appreciate your feedback!
How much money can I send you so you can send me a jar of that seasoning?
Haha! You are cracking me up! All I can say is I'm so glad it have it in my kitchen right now! 🤗
It is a ingredient that some people shouldnt have. You might want tell your people to google it.
Nooch!
Chickpeas
That is the first time I've seen that as a guess and it's a really good one! You're so right that chickpeas work here because they're so versatile! It's not the subject of this video, but you get an honorable mention! 🌺
@@Namelymarly I get it. I’m not into noosh too much but I do make chickpea salad for sandwiches and hummus. And it’s part of my four bean salad with balsamic vinegar dressing. I also make chickpea flour pan cakes or frittatas.
'nutch'
Yes! 🌷
Nooch
You guessed it! ❤
No it's aquafaba!!!!
That's another great ingredient. I'll have to feature that one another day! ❤
Yeast flakes
You're right! It's such good stuff! 🌷
Nutritional yeast tastes terrible. One of the most annoying things about vegan recipes is how many of them have nutritional yeast as an ingredient.
I appreciate your honesty! I doubt there is any one ingredient that is loved by everyone. Nutritional yeast definitely has a distinct taste that isn't for everyone. It's interesting how tastes can vary from person to person. While some love it for its cheesy flavor, others might not be fans. Luckily, there are plenty of other delicious vegan ingredients and recipes to explore. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🌱😊
I don’t like it either
The worst tasting ingredient ever invented. Hate it.
Hmmm. I'm going out on a limb here, but it sounds like nutritional yeast flakes might not be your cup of tea. Taste preferences vary widely, and not every ingredient appeals to everyone. For example, my hubby hates mushrooms, but I love them. Go figure! If you're open to it, there are plenty of other delicious vegan alternatives out there. Thanks for checking out the video!
