AWESOME Vegan Mac & Cheese

while trying to get back on track and try a few new things i stumbled upon this mac and cheese recipe at one of my favourite vegan blogs, www.ourveggiekitchen.com. i dunno if any of you are like me but i love comfort food so i was so excited when i put the first spoonful of this creamy goodness in my mouth. it brought back childhood memories and i couldn't get enough of it. and it's vegan i swear!!! no milk or cheese to be found.
AND to top it off, it's so easy! it's a mix that you can keep and make as needed. and it's microwavable (which i usually don't care for microwaved food but for this it's fine).

try it and i know you will like it.

in the Bahamas, we make Baked Mac and Cheese and it has eggs and milk it in. now to only figure out a way to bake the vegan one :)

ALWAYS use the guard!!!

ok....so, what had happened wuuzzzz (LOL), i was slicing some onion on my mandolin slicer this afternoon. not really rushing but not really paying too much attention either....the inevitable happened. I cut not one but two of my fingers on my right hand, my thumb and my middle finger.
If you can imagine...I am holding the onion in my right hand with the slicer in my left. No, i did not use the guard (despite repeated urgings otherwise). I found that if i did, i ended up throwing a chunk of whatever i was slicing away. So despite being down to the end of my onion i kept on with the back and forth motion, removing quite a chunk off the meaty part of my thumb and skimming the end of my middle finger.
Honestly, I have had (and successfully used) this lovely device for awhile now. It's such a time saver! But as i found out, it only takes once to severely injure yourself and it can happen SO fast.
So...from now on i will ALWAYS use the guard, no matter how much of my onion i have to throw away. At least I will get to keep my fingers.
