I’m not vegan (yet) but as someone who is lactose intolerant I definitely miss mac and cheese.
I’m trying out new recipes for all my favorite dishes and this is by far my favorite!

If you’re vegan or lactose intolerant like me I recommend this recipe. It obviously won’t taste like grandma’s but it is definitely delicious, yummy, cheesy, savory, and even nonvegans/cheese-lovers love it!!!
(If you’re wondering why this recipe has a sweet potato & potato in it, it adds to the texture and is not detectable at all – you can use butternut squash or carrots in place of the sweet potato if you’d like!)
Preheat oven to 350°
Ingredients:
• 1 box of Macaroni noodles
