Apparently I can’t stop with the Daiya. I swear they aren’t paying me. Or even sending me free cheese. I’m not opposed to that though. 
How is it that there are so many styles of vegan mac & cheese that are so freakin’ good? You have ones based on nutritional yeast, cashews, whatever magic Soul Vegetarian puts in theirs, etc. So I had to see how Daiya would do. And the answer is, quite well thank you very much. Because I’m lazy, I used this recipe. I still had some lunch meat log so I chopped that up in place of the veggie ham. I also made a half batch so I wouldn’t be eating nothing but mac & cheese for two weeks, not that there’s anything wrong with that. When making it, I went with the lower amount of soy milk and I think I would like it saucier so next time I’ll try the higher amount at least. The taste was spot on though. I say this as someone that hasn’t eaten cheese in years, but I have been through a ton of vegan mac & cheeses and this one seems to hit closest to the blue box kind. I’d love to get the opinion of an omni or vegetarian on Daiya.
Seriously, how 70s does this plate look?

Yay, I’m so glad you tried my recipe! Good stuff, right?! It does look like your sauce came out pretty think, I think you will like it even better thinned out a little… giving an exact amount on that is tough because the thickness seems to depend on how hot and for how long people stir up the sauce. I’ve had it turn out different for me each time, but thankfully each time it’s delicious!
And it’s totally true, whenever I make a big batch of this stuff I end up eating nothing else for at least a week… Enjoy!
I have wondered the same thing about mac&cheese I keep trying new recipes and thinking this is my favorite, no this one is, it never ends!
Looks great! I really need to try this cheese. I keep hearing about it and Jamie loves the fake cheese stuff. The plate is totally retro too! Were you doing laundry and cooking?
We actually have a matching tea pot to your plate. The spout broke off and my husband glued it back on and is still using it (I protested about glue toxins on deaf ears!!). So 70s! I can’t wait to try the Daiya..a new vegan pizzeria just opened here and they use it..gotta check it out!
If only it were on an avocado colored counter!
Looks damn good to me!
