Recipe Round-Up: Vegan Mac 'n' Cheese


Today is National Macaroni Day. Mac 'n' Cheese is probably the most popular way to use macaroni noodles. Good vegan Mac 'n' Cheese recipes used to be but a dream, but now there are many fantastic and inspired vegan recipes out there. I've gathered quite a bunch including some gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, grain-free, paleo, and raw vegan options. Some are baked, some are more traditional, some use nutritional yeast, or cashews, or Daiya shreds. Do some browsing and see which ones catch your eye.

The Recipes!

Too hot? Don't feel like cooking? Restaurants!

Pomegranate Cafe has a Southwestern Mac & Cheese.

Green's Mac-n-Cheese isn't on the regular menu, but Chef Damon often offers it up as a special. Join the Green Facebook group or follow Green on Twitter for notices on specials.

I prefer the Amy's, but the Candle Cafe is pretty good too.

I tried the Candle Cafe mac & cheese - it didn't hold a candle to Amy's (pun intended). Even Damon's doesn't come close to the scrape-the-box passion I have for Amy's mac & cheese. Signed, your friendly Daiya addict!

Yeah, I was surprised at how good the Amy's one is! I have a box of that in my freezer as I type this. haha. I actually haven't even tried Damon's yet. Someday maybe. :)
