Mac & "Cheese"

There are a ton of mac & "cheese" recipes in the vegan community. I created this one that avoids the cashew (as much as I love them I wanted other nut free options). This one ended up being my favourite recipe for mac & "cheese" that accidentally became a star meal. It is incredibly close to a traditional mac and cheese without all the harsh chemicals and is extremely nutrient dense. Creamy, warm and oh so comforting. I could eat the entire batch or two on my own.
Serve with a side salad for the ultimate well-rounded meal.
