Easy 'Cheesy' Mac and Cheese

So....I love mac and cheese. Trying to eat vegan makes it a little hard ;)  I was making dinner tonight and I thought of our friend Rudy. He bought the same noodles as us but he was hesitant to make them because they are in water and on the package it says my have odor. It's true they smell but not that bad. The are healthy and guilt free. It's like 3 carbs preserving. So good. That's a whole other post....rinse the noodles under cold water then boil the noodles at least for 3 to 4 minutes. 
I usually boil them until I'm ready for them.  

 
I've bought nutritional yeast because reading about it people talk about how it has a nutty savory flavor. I first tried it w popcorn and it was good. This is the recipe I followed:
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup  flour
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon dried yellow mustard powder
1 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons butter (I know not vegan but it's all I had) 
 

Whisk dry ingredients w water until clumps are gone then put in sauce pan on med heat. I kept whisking till it thickened up. I added black peper. 

Drain your noodles and then add sauce. I only used half the sauce for the amount of noodles I had. I didnt want my mac and cheese too runny. 

I asked Pokey what I can add to make it more "adult" he said bacon...umm negative...
It doesn't really taste like mac and cheese but it does have a nice nutty flavor. It's good. I saw a recipe for mac and cheese casserole style so I'll try that soon. Enjoy!!!

21 Day Sugar Detox

Monday after Super Bowl some friends and I started this detox. I was nervous, excited, anxious and scared. I didn't know what to expect. It went well.  I are a lot like this. No sugar meant no bread or processed foods. I lost 9lbs. It felt good. It did change my way of thinking about sweets. I don't crave them. I guess that was the point lol.  I'm glad it's over but I've been following the diet for the most part. 

Is your fridge a garden or a morgue?

Pokey and I love to grocery shop. It's what we do lol. I really love that he is cool w the fact that I'm not eating meat and don't care for it in the house. I feel it take up space and why do that when I can put veggies in its place!  First shelf: almond milk, black berries, cilantro, cherries, yogurt (his) apple sauce that my momma brought over for Angie's kids. I need to give that to her. And BEER!!! Bobby gave it to Pokey  Second shelf: Salad stuff. Spinach, spring mix, feta cheese, avocado and tomatoes  Third shelf: Green grapes, mushrooms and corn. HEB 5 for $1  Fourth shelf: Eggplant (Pokey's) red grapes, watermelon and cauliflower. Pickled jalapeño. Pokeys choice. Not mine "/   Vegetable drawer: Bell pepper, tomato, broccoli, cucumbers, poblano pepper and small red orange and yellow peppers  Counter: FRUIT!!! Bananas, pineapples, apples, pear, lemon and limes.  I LOVE COLOR!!!!
