I use it in a dressing I like but am curious to know if and how you guys use it.

    I stir it into mashed potatoes before I mash to give that nice cheesy flavour

    I sprinkle it on my egg before I microwave it and I've heard it's good on popcorn.

    I use it to make faux cheese sauces or sprinkle it on pasta.

    I add it to my popcorn. Or vegetables, or really anything, it's good.

    I put it into broth based soups to make them taste thicker and creamier.

    I sprinkle it on popcorn or fried eggs, and I make a bouillon mix that contains it primarily nutritional yeast along with some herbs and spices.

    It's surprising how good it is on popcorn. Add butter and salt, and a touch of paprika if desired. It's yummylicious, and a good source of protein. Try it! :smile:

    It's also good on popcorn with a Tbsp of grapeseed oil instead of butter for anyone who needs to watch their intake if saturated fats for health reasons, as I do.

    I love it on popcorn too, with a little butter and gateway to the north seasoning from the spice house.

    It's nice sprinkled on veggies before roasting.

    Where do you find it? Do most grocery stores carry it? Where is it usually stocked?

    Most grocery stores (at least where I've lived) do not carry it. I buy mine at Whole Foods. It's in the nutritional supplement section, sometimes in the bulk bins.

    I make vegan pasta sauce for my boyfriend, vegan lasagna, put it on popcorn, on top of Chilli.. make faux Parmesan. I try not to add it to everything though cause it is high in calories and sooo tasty so hard to just have a little haha

    My local Kroger carries it. It is in the healthy foods section.

    I put it in my cottage cheese sometimes, and even have put it in my PB2-based pseudo-Asian peanut sauce for veggies if I need extra protein, or in soup (at the end).

    I don't think it really tastes like Doritos, but I thought this mix for popcorn was pretty tasty:

    I don't, but this is still great to know. Thanks for posting!

    (Sometimes I want to use less butter for calorie reasons, and I bet everybody else too!)
