Super Easy Vegan Veggie Mac and Cheez

I was elated when I was finally able to have one of my favorites again with this cheez sauce I adapted from the Vegan Rocker girls nacho cheeze recipe.  Not only did I love it, but the family had at it as well. So here goes the recipe!!

Super Easy Vegan Veggie Mac and Cheez

One box of fav. whole wheat pasta, I used rotiini
1/2 c. nutritional yeast flakes
1/2c. flour
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. sea salt
1 c. soy milk
2 T. Earth Balance marg.
1 bag fav. frozen veggie blend. I used broccoli, cauliflower, carrot for this one. Microwaved according to bag directions.

Cook pasta according to directions and set aside in cold water and then drain.
Meanwhile....add the rest of ingred. except marg. and veggies and soymilk, to a saucepan over med. high heat.  Slowly, while stirring, add soymilk, until mixture gets bubbly and thickens.  If it thickens too much you can add small bits of soymilk to thin.  Remove from heat, add marg. and stir till melted. Add cooked veggies to sauce, then blend in drained pasta, place back over low heat until pasta is warmed.

Enjoy!

Just a wrap with Dijon noyonaise.
Whole wheat tortilla.
Tofurky slices.
Sliced gourmet cucumbers and tomatoes on the side.
Followed up with a yummy green goodness smoothie.

The hubby and I

This is a test

Rethinking it...

To date my website here seems to be a bust.  Without internet at home I cannot post because I cannot get it to work on my mobile.  It will post but seems to always be in hypertext....can't figure that out!  grrr.

Anyway I don't want to give up on it and so here I am!

As a fairly new Vegan I am constantly trying to get more and more "everyday dishes" that are quick, easy and NOT the same old thing.  I have to say I appreciate more than words can say the other Vegan pages here on Blogger that I have been shamelessly taking recipes from!  I have every intention of trying out the Vegan Rocker Girls nacho cheese sauce tomorrow!  I have found these delicious organic blue corn chips that I love with salsa and feel pretty confident it will be a good match.

I don't have much more than that to post today as I want to spend some time trying ONCE AGAIN to get the mobile working so I can post more often, and yes, even send pictures to my blog!  HOWEVER....I did make a delicious Vegan potatoe and veggie soup this week that was to die for.  So here it is:

Bag of Medditeranian Veggie blend  (frozen foods)
Bag of cube style frozen hash browns
Frozen corn
12 oz. can of diced tomatoes / grn chilies
Chili powder to taste
Boca burger crumbles

Throw it a large soup pot...add enough water to cover and cook till the veggies are done...sooo good!
 Hope you enjoy it.  Quite hearty and keeps the cold away...especially since it seems as if Ohio has decided to never allow summer to appear!  LOL  take care all!
