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!!!

Jackfruit "beef" Stew

  SATURDAY WITH MY PARENTS! Pokey went fishing and I went grocery shopping. I love to hang out with my family. I love them with my entire heart. I called my mom and asked her if she wanted to join me while I picked up a few things from the store. Of course, she said yes. When I get to my parents she says my dad wants tacos from Cristobal. I'm down because they really have great tacos. I got beans and nopales (cactus) Look how cute my parents are. 43 years in February.  I love that they show love to each other.  We ended up going to HEB and I didn't grab much but I got some acorn squash and some okra.  It was a cold Saturday and I know him being on the water plus the wind I know he would appreciate a warm meal when he came home. My mom in law bought us a Ninja Foodi and I have been intimidated by it for almost a year. This is probably the 4th time I have used it. I had one of those meal cheaters, it was beef stew one where you add meat and some veggies.  I added ...

It's May!

I was texting w La and we were talking food and what not. Anyways. It dawned on my that its May. I'm going into my fifth month of being like 90% vegan. It's funny because its not like that 10% is milk and cheese. It's Chic Fil A! Lol. Their sunflower bagel chicken breakfast biscuit is crack! At work we had a luncheon and they make the best steak. I had a couple of bites and I gave it to Patty. I didn't have a taste for it..what...crazy in know. Another time we had family over and I bought barbacoa and carnitas. I was so sad face. The barbacoa was not delish to me any more. Carnitas were great but I could do w out. I just was always a fan of pork. But I haven't had bacon yet. Go figure. We started this journey w juicing. And then after I thought "no meat/dairy" till the end of March. I wanted to get blood work done to see if it was worth it. It was. I lowered my cholesterol by 13 points! I think that's great. Plus...I feel great. I'm very ...

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.
