Mac and Shews (Vegan Mac and Cheese)

Cashews are basically vegan dairy. Blend them with a little liquid and you’ve got a smooth cream, similar to half-and-half. Mixed with broth, nutritional yeast, miso and seasonings along with the macaroni and you’ve got delish mac ‘n cheese.

Step: 1

Blend cashews, broth, yeast, lemon juice, miso, and onion powder in a high-powered blender (such as a Vitamix®), scraping down sides with a spatula until completely smooth. Season with salt and pepper, keeping in mind that you want it just a little saltier than usual because it’s going to be poured over other ingredients.

Step: 2

Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions.

Step: 3

Drain, return to pot, and stir in cashew sauce. Cook over low heat, stirring, until sauce thickens a bit and everything is deliciously creamy, about 3 minutes. Stir in arugula (if using) and add more salt, if needed. Serve immediately.

It means , if we can be order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really wanted the junk food and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."

When it comes to dinner , overeating or eating too much of the bad kinds of food can lead to trouble on sleeping. On the other side, a meal that is less than satiating not make leave you want more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night side dish even closer to bedtime .
