No, if you heat or bake nutritional yeast it will lose the nutritional part.
I think you are thinking of normal yeast. Nutritional yeast is inactive.

So... you're eating raw yeast powder? I think I'd rather kill the nutrition, get the activated stuff and make some delicious bread. But, to each their own.
Sadly, today is a fast day, so no food until dinner. I did make some delicious breakfast casserole and crockpot chicken fajitas yesterday though. Man do I love refried beans.

I mix it with mayo or ketchup. And it is very nutritional. Hence the word nutritional yeast. It is packed with vitamin B's and minerals.

Packed some tacos again. No chicken left, so I did two shredded pork and one steak. One of the pork and the steak got topped as they were yesterday, while the second pork got the salsa verde as well as some crema. Coffee from the building cafeteria; black, surprisingly pretty good.
Edit: Brandy Buck made with some of that Hennessy VS.

The wife and I just stopped at BK and got one whopper and one impossible whopper. We each took half of one and did a taste test comparison. I may actually like the impossible whopper better. The three biggest, really the only differences are looks, texture and taste. Those difference are very minor though, and honestly play into the IW's favor.
So first is looks. If you've not seen what a normal whopper patty looks like, well, google is a thing I suppose. The IW party is smoother in comparison. It's not as lumpy, doesnt have the craters that from from the juices bubbling to the surface and solidifying. And when cut, the "meat" has a smooth sort of velvet texture as opposed the the grainy texture of the hamburger patty. Which brings us to texture, on the palette, it is, again, a bit more smooth, it doesnt get that graininess youdo from a tradition whopper. But it's not in a bad way, like with some of the other veggie patties that get that weird sort of pop as you chew into them. The texture is spot on and it's got the right sort of juiciness and tenderness. Finally the taste. Again, it's not a huge difference. It tastes every bit the whopper it is, just less "flame broiled" flavoring. Its not quite as strongly flavored.
Had I not known it was an IW, I wouldn't have known. All of the differences where very minor. The overall product was very good. In fact, I would even place it a quarter step ahead of the normal whopper. In fact, I think it may have just become my go to fast food burger. If you are on the fence about trying it...
TLDR, the impossible whopper is better than a regular whopper (small margin), try it.

I tried a very simple teriyaki chicken recipe to put my Instant Pot through it's first test. It was pretty good and I will definitely try it again, although I will marinade the chicken next time and the co-worker that gave me the recipe said he adds crushed red pepper so I'll probably try that as well.

The Bloody Mary mix at the top of the last page was fueling a craving, so I made some tomato juice yesterday for a couple Bloody Marys today...except they were Bloody Marias, the far superior beverage.
2oz Espolòn tequila blanco, 4oz tomato juice, .5oz lime juice, splash of Worcestershire sauce, half teaspoon fresh grated horseradish, a couple dashes of Secret Aardvark Serrabanero hot sauce, chopped cilantro, celery salt and fresh ground pepper. Served in a schooner glass with ice and garnished with a couple jicama sticks and half of a seeded serrano pepper. The other skipped the hot sauce and the serrano garnish but kept the horseradish.
Breakfast itself was a poached egg on sausage hash with onion and red peppers.

Respectfully.... that is not how one should drink tequila, nor tomato juice... the imagining of worcester sauce and horseradish mixed with tequila is cringing my tongue.

Ah but that's where the blanco comes in. You've got all that brightness but with the mild vegetal sweetness from the agave that works so well with the savory tomato and Worcestershire. It doesn't interact with the horseradish any differently than vodka.
I wouldn't use anything but a blanco here, though, and I couldn't recommend the Espolòn more highly. Sure it's more expensive than your Cuervo Gold, but few things aren't.

I just had a three egg, Spam and cheese omelette with buttered toast.
But, I am not here to talk about Spam or even omelettes.
I am here to talk about my favorite food item, the egg.
Those who know me from the political threads here know I am no bleeding heart PETA loving leftist. And while I am going to talk about chickens, I really don't care about how they are treated. What I really care about is tastier eggs.
Not long ago I skipped over the $1.50 eggs and bought a carton of Egglands Best eggs for $4.00. They promised in their ads that these were better tasting. They lied.
There are normal caged hen eggs.
Then there are cage free eggs.
Then there are free range eggs. These hens are treated like cage free hens, but they have doors on there houses.
All of the hens above, caged, cage free, and even free range, all eat a diet provided to them by the farmers. All of their eggs taste pretty much the same.
Then there are pasture raised eggs.
I believe they are limited to about 100 hens per acre. Their diet includes bugs and worms.
Pasture raised eggs are noticeably different from the other types. You will notice the difference the moment you try and crack open your first egg. The shells are harder, the membrane under the shell is tougher, and the yolk is tougher making them harder to scramble. But the truth is in the taste. Pasture raised eggs definitely taste better.
Pasture raised eggs cost me about $4.50 per dozen at my local Kroger supermarket. They are well worth the extra cost. While a cheap egg is only about 12.5¢, a pasture raised egg is still only 37.5¢. That put the main part of my omelette meal at about $1.13. I don't mind paying a premium (if you can call it that) for a better tasting omelette.

Why is caring about the well being of animals a bleeding heart PETA loving leftist thing?

I don't know, you'd have to ask one of them. I just care about tasty eggs.

No I don't, I am asking you why you think that.
Alright, let me put it this way. I know plenty of farm owners who are conservative and have a great deal of respect for their live stock. As your post points out, taking better care of animals tends to make them taste far better. There is a reason wagyu has the price and flavor it does, you should see how the cows are treated.
All your post points out is how much of an ******* you are. Is not politics, it's not liberal or leftist or some animal spirit hippity dippity bs. Pointing out all that BS that you did, rather than just getting to the point that pasture raised hens make for better eggs makes you at the least just an investigative ass hat. At the least.

This isn’t the place for politics. You could’ve just cut to the chase and said Free Range eggs are nicer than Barn eggs, rather than turning it into a PETA ManifestoI just had a three egg, Spam and cheese omelette with buttered toast.

No, my post points out that pasture raised eggs are much better than normal eggs. And for that I get called an *******. I'm not sure what that is but I don't think I like it and it probably goes against the AUP.
In my 324 word post which includes 4 pictures to help illustrate how eggs are produced, I used 18 of those words to show that I am not just saying pasture raised eggs taste better because I think hens should be treated better. The fact is, they just taste better.
And now, three replies later, and not one of them about eggs, I have to ask, who's dragging politics where? My post was about eggs.

Had you made a post with out this...
You could have a leg to stand on. But those two sentences made it both political and set yourself up to be called out. Whether by intent (I believe it was) or not, it's both an ignorant thing to say and an ignorant position to assume.

I finally got around to trying Poutine and Scotch Eggs at the MN State Fair. Both were quite good. I also had a Pronto Pup, popcorn shrimp, mini donuts, some "Australian" potatoes that were very good, some cookies and a few beers.
