Food Tuesday: Make-Do Mac and Cheese

THIS iteration was NOT vegan/vegetarian, but it could easily be so.

So I wanted mac and cheese, but I had no macaroni and I had no milk. So I used tri-color rotini and vegan Alfredo sauce instead of macaroni and white sauce. I added bacon bits and TONS of different cheeses, but if I had left out the bacon I would have had vegetarian. If I had access to Daiya vegan shreds, I would have used those and would have had vegan. So.

It was DELICIOUS!

I love mac & cheese, and that’s a good way to make it as far as I’m concerned. It certainly beats running out to the store.

  Mom and Grandpa (when they were driving) thought nothing of driving to the store for an ingredient. I’d rather eat dry cereal than go for milk.
