It's Gettin' a Little Cheesy Around Here...

I'm still trying to catch up on blog posts - especially the foods and recipes I have been tinkering with.  I figured I would combine two of them in this first post of today.  There will be multiple posts today...be sure to check back! 

In this first photo you will see what looks to be Mac & Cheese.  Welllll...sorta-kinda...but better!  I used Brown Rice Pasta Shells and did a Sriracha Cheese Sauce and here's how I did it...

1 C Cashews
1 C Water
1/2 C Nutritional Yeast
1 T Lemon Juice
1 T Sriracha Sauce
1 tea Paprika
1 tea Onion Powder
1 tea Garlic Powder
Sprinkle Chili Garlic Sea Salt
Sprinkle Turmeric Extract
Sprinkle GoL Raw Meal Protein

I've been on a Grits kick for a few weeks now since I smuggled in some Earth Balance and Nutritional Yeast to a local eating establishment and threw my additions into the plan grits they served me.  So I have been working on different flavors of Grits at home and here's another one I really enjoyed!  Of course you have the grits but then you mix in...

1/4 C (or more) Nutritional Yeast
2 T (or more) Earth Balance
1 tea Garlic Powder
1/2 tea (or less) Garlic Chili Sea Salt
Sprinkle GoL's Wheatgrass

What do you think of these creations?  What kind of flavored Grits do you think I should try next?

    These look wonderful, very creamy and cheesy. Not sure on grits, perhaps lemon dill?

    I am not a fan of grits personally, but your ingredients would probably make them much tastier =)
    Your mac and cheese on the other hand looks & sounds SO TASTY! Love it =)

      I used to NOT like Grits either - never had a lot of them growing up because my parents weren't fans. As an adult I have grown to like them :) With the Mac & Cheeses - it seems I made a different sauce each time :) I've really liked MOST of them - this one was pretty awesome :)

    Hi Jennifer,
    Wow, I am in love with your Brown Rice Pasta Shells with Sriracha Cheese Sauce! Now, that's a great way to spice up dinner! I happen to like spicy, creamy dishes a lot so I am so glad you shared this healthy, delish dish with us at the Plant-Based Potluck Party Blog Hop!

      It was! I feel like I make vegan cheese sauces a different way each time I make them! It's FUN!
