Vegan Mac and Cheese

It's a cheese free mac and cheese! No dairy. Veggies instead. The sauce is made from potato, carrots, onion, and cashews. With a little bit of seasoning and some nutritional yeast, it tastes just like your classic mac and cheese. Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast and has a strong nutty and cheesy taste which makes it a popular ingredient in cheese substitutes. 

​

Give this mac and cheese and try and maybe you'll never have your classic mac and cheese again. I mean, you are getting more veggies with this recipe, so why not?!
