Macaroni and "Cheese" and this week's menu.

So we had Macaroni and "Cheese" for dinner tonight.  The "cheese" sauce was made up of nutritional yeast, curry powder, mustard powder, salt, pepper, olive oil, garlic flour and soy  milk.  No cheese.  I cooked the pasta and whipped up the sauce.  You can either just dump the sauce on the pasta and eat it, or you can do that then cook it in the oven with some breadcrumbs on top.  I chose the latter, because I think baked mac and cheese is just better.  I have to say, it really didn't taste all that cheesy, but I did like the flavor.    It was also very easy to make.   

As for this week's menu, it is our first fully vegan dinner plan.  Here goes

Afgan Spinach and Tofu
Red Lentil Bolognese
Muligatawny soup (so super yummy!)
Seitan curry bowl (seitan is wheat gluten dough that functions as a meat sub)
Monk Bowl (this one has tofu too)

These recipes all looked pretty yummy, and I am hoping for the best as we embark on a dairy/meat free spree.    Oh, and we tried Almond based cheese tonight and I think I will be exploring other cheese options.    I love Almond milk, but the cheese didn't do a thing for me.
