Vegan Mac'n'cheese

The babysitter special is still easy for vegans--you can enjoy this in 30 minutes or fewer. I've tried box brands and all the highest-rated recipes online I could find. Some had carrots in the cheese sauce, others with miso which gave it a fishy/salty taste. After tweaking this recipe for almost a year, it is finally post-worthy. 

Mac'n'cheese

• 2 C. dry pasta
• 3/4 C. raw cashews 
• 1/4 C. nutritional yeast (I prefer it slightly overflowing)
• 1 t. salt
• 1/2 t. onion powder
• 1/2 t. garlic powder
• 1/4 C. vegan butter
• 1 1/4 C. plain unsweetened vegan milk
• 1 T. lemon juice

1. While preparing pasta according to package instructions, blend all ingredients very well until liquid. If you are in a hurry, my $25 blender has worked just fine with unsoaked cashews (just blend very well ;) ).
2. Pour over prepared noodles and stir occasionally on low/medium heat until thickened. Serve and enjoy!
