Tomato Mac & Cheese

Hi there, and happy Vegan Month of Food! In the past three years that I've done Vegan MoFo, I've never had a theme, but this year I decided to give it a (halfway) try. My plan is to do two non-themed weeks and two themed weeks. The first of the themed weeks (either the second or third week) will be "Nostalgia Week," wherein I veganize favorite meals from when I was younger. The other, which I am even more excited about, will take place the fourth week of Vegan MoFo, when I will veganize foods from the TV show Parks and Recreation, in honor of it starting up again on the 26th!

Today's recipe is a simple mac and cheese that I made yesterday for lunch. 

Tomato Mac & Cheese

Ingredients (1 serving):

--1/2 cup elbow noodles

--1/4 cup soymilk

--1/4 cup vegan cheddar (I used Daiya, shredded)

--1 tsp vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)

--couple shakes of nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper

--tomato, chopped up however you like

Cook the noodles, drain and add the remaining ingredients. Simmer on low, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted and liquid absorbed. Serve and enjoy.

I also have a very special someone that I would like to introduce: little Mystery, who Zach and I adopted back in February. She's somewhere around 14 years old (most recent guess from the vet), and she is very sweet. I'll include a picture of her with each of my posts this year. (Mr. Boogie, the cat who was in each of my posts last Vegan MoFo, is still living with my parents, and he is as cute as ever.)

This Vegan MoFo, I'm looking forward to visiting my favorite blogs again and also discovering some new ones. If this is your first time doing Vegan MoFo, please leave a comment and I'll make sure to check out your blog!

Happy MoFo'ing, everyone!

Peace. :)
