Nom Nom Nom is what I did tonight for dinner.
This was the first time I had to throw something together for dinner on the fly. I had no recipe prepared and didn’t even know what I had in my fridge. Luckily I have a surplus of noodles and a variety of cheese so I decided to try my hand at making an easy Mac & Cheese. I literally googled “Cheese Sauce” and used the first recipe that came up for a cheddar cheese sauce base recipe. I already had all of the ingredients I would need to make this recipe allergen friendly so I got to work.
For this recipe I used a wheat flour, coconut milk, Soy Kaas Block Cheddar Cheese, Earth Balance Buttery Sticks and Herbamare.
Now, I’ve tried a few different types vegan and lactose free Mac & Cheese meals that honestly tasted worse than anything I’ve ever tried. This recipe ended up having a light cheese flavor despite doubling the amount of cheese. I decided to add garlic salt for flavor and that gave it the extra “kick” it needed 
Feel free to edit this recipe to your taste & allergies, but for no dairy/cheese this was a simple and delicious recipe.
NOTE: I used regular barrilla elbow noodles and cooked those according to the package.
Enjoy!
