Keith, Dan, Ryan
Greetings Race Fans!
It is now common knowledge that the world is going to end in two years (2012). Those of us lucky enough to be representatives for Team Dandies feel that for Dandies to continue in a post apocalyptic world we need to be strong mentally and physically. While we train for this on a daily basis it is good to get outside the walls of the CSD compound to be challenged in new ways. When we heard about the Warrior Dash (warriordash.com) we knew there could be no better test for the challenges of 2012. This 3.1 mile course in Joliet, IL offered more than a few obstacles. Giant mud pits, barbed wire, cargo nets, walls, hay bails, tires, cars to jump over, predators….you get the idea.
Team Dandies had a great showing, and congratulations to Keith Woods for coming in 4th in his age group and fourth is his heat averaging just over a 6min mile, which is sick considering the terrain AND obstacles. Team Dandies had two top 10 age group finishers and Ryan, who only trains at the skate park, somehow managed to run just over a 7min mile. How he does this with never running I have no idea, I can only assume it is the nonstop diet of Dandies and Pro Bars. As for this esteemed writer, I showed up to the race about 5-10 min after the gun went off. Let me tell you, there is no better feeling than passing about 200 other competitors, kicking mud in their face as I zoomed by. I can only imagine the satisfaction I would have if I were able to compete at the Senior Olympics. Anyway….
Race: Warrior Dash, 2010
Top Dandies Finisher: Keith Woods (4th age group, 26 / 5246 overall)
Fuel: Pro Bar…always Pro Bar http://theprobar.com
Dude, why are my feet hot?
How does the A-Team make this look so easy?

Recently we set out to better Teese Vegan Cheese and the time has come to unveil what we’ve done. We’re really excited to present to you our new recipe for Teese Vegan Cheese! You will begin seeing these in stores in the next few weeks. Along with the recipe change we took this opportunity to update our packaging. If you see Teese in the new packaging you know it’s the new recipe.
What did we change with Teese?
- The texture has been greatly improved. The melt is more consistent and less liquid-y.
- STRETCH! Our Mozzarella and Cheddar flavors now stretch! Pizza and grilled cheese sandwiches are awesome!
- Our Nacho and Cheddar sauces have an improved consistency. The product gets incredibly gooey when heated. Makes absolutely perfect Mac & Teese and Nachos.
- Our Cheddar flavor has been altered. We listened to some great feedback from our customers and toned down the Cheddar smell and gave it more of a savory flavor.
Look out for this new packaging. When you see it, you know it’s the new recipe!

A few weeks ago we put out an open call on Twitter and Facebook asking our fans if they had a food blog and to let us know. Without knowing what it was for we got a great selection of bloggers contacting us just to see what was up. We presented them with The Teese Vegan Cheese Challenge. We wanted to give some Teese away and empower all these great vegan cooks to get creative and have fun with Teese. To get out of their comfort zone and not make pizza or lasagna. The early responses have been AMAZING and I’d like to start sharing those with you now!

In true Chicago Style, Delisi’s Pizzeria in West Rogers Park makes amazing deep dish pizza as well as thin crust pies (with square pieces and all) and panzerottis (think deep fried calzone-y goodness.) What makes this place exceptional, is that they do it all VEGAN as well as traditional.

The masters of the Chicago pie have been using Teese cheese as well as Upton’s amazing seitan meat substitutes to wow local and traveling vegans alike with pizza perfection we all thought we’d never have again.
They are also offering our Temptation chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream for those with self-control for the pizza portion of the night and room for dessert.
The best news is, they deliver! And they are open LATE! Kitchen closes at 1:30am people. 1-30-A-M.
Check ‘em out on GrubHub or stop by the spot to experience the friendly local bar flavor we at CSD love about this place.

Are you like me and loved that macaroni and cheese that came from the box as a kid? I swear since the first day I went vegan I’ve been trying to recreate that taste at least once a week in my own kitchen.
Thank goodness for Teese Creamy Style cheddar sauce! This stuff mixed with noodles is spot on with the extra classy Velveeta boxed mac and cheese my mom would only let us have on special occasions.
Here are the details –
Boil your favorite pasta noodles. Drain them. While they are steaming in the colander I squeeze about half a tube of Creamy Style Teese into the same pan I cooked the noodles in. Heat till smooth and add back the pasta. Could it be easier? Well, maybe you could make it more complicated (and complete) by adding fresh or frozen veggies, burger crumbles, etc, but most nights I like it straight up. Here’s to comfort food on these cold winter nights!
