Currently I only sprinkle it on popcorn but I don't eat popcorn very frequently. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to add it in?

Put it on top of spaghetti as a Parmesan substitute.0

I'm still looking for somewhere that sells that here in the UK (I am reluctant to order foody stuff online)
I've been keen to give it a try since amoeba15 told me about it a few months ago. I've read that it can be good to add it to salads, or sprinkle over porridge or granola at breakfast too.0 -
Soups, stews, dips, vegan cheese or alfredo sauce0

I LOVE nutritional yeast! Sprinkle it on salads, pastas, veggies, potatoes, soups, etc. You can also make different "cheese" sauces with it. Since it is used a lot as a cheese substitute, look on vegan websites such as vegweb.com and happyherbivore.com. Godairyfree.org has some good recipes, too. Hope that helps!

I'm glad you asked this. I keep it on hand solely for adding to my popcorn, but I never think to use it with anything else. I'm looking forward to seeing more replies!0

Oh, yes! Check out The Happy Herbivore Cookbook. Quite a few recipes in there that call for nutritional yeast.0 -
I mostly use nutritional yeast in salad dressing (kind of gives it a Caesar-y taste) and in tofu ricotta cheese. You can really sneak it anywhere you need salty, cheesy flavor - it's great on top of pasta with sauce, cooked broccoli or in meatless ball or loaf recipes!0

I mix it into my chili, taco soup, on pasta. I've even made a pasta sauce using it as the major ingredient and it was awesome! You can use it anywhere you'd use cheese basically.0
