I Love You Mac and Cheese!
I LOVE MAC AND CHEEEEEESE! I seriously can’t sing it loud enough. So for my birthday, since I was cooking for guests (the best people in the world!) I decided to compromise my Liza tendency of using the microwave (yes, you can make mac and cheese with the microwave), and actually make REAL macaroni and cheese. But after looking at many different recipes, I thought you know, I’m going to take note of the ingredients from these recipes that I see as essential BUT I’m going to make my mac and cheese HEALTHY! And yes, just like cooking mac and cheese in the microwave, this too is possible and DE-LISH!!!
Cook two bags of WHOLE GRAIN macaroni
Drain pasta and return to sauce pan
Mix 4 tablespoons of VEGAN butter in the noodles
In a separate sauce pan, mix 1/2 cup of egg substitute, 6oz of evaporated milk, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, 2 tablespoon of paprika, and dash some pepper to your preference
Pour this into the macaroni, and dump a bag of organic shredded cheddar cheese, and a bag of 2% shredded “mexican style” cheese
Mix all together put stove on low heat and you have Fabulous ooey gooey Mac and cheese goodness!

wow I thought that was gonna be too healthy for me but then you said, “dump a bag of cheese” and another one. nice. amazing theme song.
“Gourmet Mac and Cheese”; white cheddar – aged 2 years – couple pounds of it, parm, dijon, or you can add mozza and gruyere for effect.
WOW your gourmet mac and cheese sounds A MAZING!
