Today I am attempting a Mac and Cheese substitute. Our current food trial is nutritional yeast…an essential cheesy tasting product present in almost all vegan cheeses. I basically took this recipient:

And dropped onions, garlic,lemon juice,chicken broth and mustard. I subbed carrots for butternut squash. I also doubled the nutritional yeast and added coconut aminos. Red lentil pasta is our go to in this crazy grain free fpies life, so red lentil twirly noodles it was.
Basically I cooked carrots (1lb) cauliflower (1 bag frozen) blended that with about a cup of coconut milk and added 6-8 tablespoons nutritional yeast and coconut aminos to taste.
The boy liked “cheese flakes” sprinkled on top of his “Mac n cheese” and so to try to get the volume up I obliged. Husband didn’t like it because the carrots made it too sweet, but we got the trial food in after a week of picky eating and I thought it tasted fine. Not like Mac n Cheese but FPIES kiddo has no reference point.
