Mac and Cheese FAIL
by Weez on October 11, 2011
Apparently I’m totally ok with posting my fails on the internet. I tried to make mac and cheese (easy, right? wrong.) for a simple dinner. I use the Uncheese Cookbook for a recipe, and it smelled so bad I didn’t want to taste it. But I did. Mistake. It was gritty and just yuck.
At this point the noodles were in full boil and needed a quick fix. I flipped to another recipe and it was better, but still not great. At least the pasta is totally awesome brown rice and rad shaped (big swirly cork screw shapes, you cant see it in the photo but that’s what it is).
Anyone have a good (vegan, obs) mac and cheese recipe? Something not too terrible for me that will bring back my faith mac and cheese?

Lulu’s Mac and Cheese on the Peas and Thank You website (or in her book). I made this last week, I just enjoyed leftovers, and am currently resisting going to my fridge to hoover the rest of it in…

Oh no! I hate making a big recipe that doesn’t turn out!
I wrote about my favorite mac+cheese recipe here… it’s super creamy and not gritty at all…

That looks amazing! Thank you!
Yeah, I think I’ve just been missing the good recipes for the “healthy but not very good” recipes. I’m looking for a balance, and I like when a recipe can be made “healthier” without losing too much awesomeness.
