Recipe: Cheese-less Vegan Mac and Cheese

If you're looking to cut back on dairy, nutritional yeast can be an awesome ally. Despite its humble name, this fantastic powder is affordable, high in the B vitamins vegans need, and also deliciously cheesy (minus the cheese). I go through a lot of the stuff since I love this awesome macaroni and cheese recipe that I found on The Kind Life. It is so tasty that it has pleased vegans and non-vegans alike!

To make the mac and cheese Kaylin-style, make the following modifications:

• Substitute whole wheat spirals for the elbows (organic varieties of spirals tend to be cheaper than elbows where I live)
• Add 1/2 package of frozen broccoli
• Pop it in the oven for about 40 minutes (the baked version)
• Top with 1-2 slices of toasted bread, chopped in a food processor or blender (a great use for ends or frozen bread)

Then revel in its cheesiness!

A gluten-free version can also be made by using rice pasta and gluten-free breadcrumbs.
