I could tell you about how much I used to love macaroni and cheese but this is America and I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t also love the stuff! So going vegan was tough because I, first, assumed there was no alternative and, later, found all the alternatives to be pretty unfaithful… and gross. But leave it to the wonderful folks at Amy’s Kitchen to team up with the equally-glorious gang at Daiya Foods to make an all-vegan, gluten and soy-free mac and “cheeze” that tastes splendid!

For you non-vegan types I’m sure it’s still pretty gross. The cheeze has the right melt and gooey consistency of real cheese but the flavor still isn’t (and probably shouldn’t ever be) spot-on cheddar. It also seems to give Katy a stomach ache but, to me, it’s a great tasting “side dish” that I have quickly come to love as a work-time entree all on its own. A little pepper and a few minutes in the microwave instantly make my day better!
