    The 4-year-old in our family was allergic to dairy for several years. Nutritional yeast was the only way we could have mac and cheese.

    I have a family of mac and cheese lovers. I would like to make this and see how my family would react to a mac and cheese without cheese. It would be good to see how they responded to this vegan option

    I’m not sure the difference between vegan and vegetarian. I could live on vegetables and have been considering making it a lifestyle change.
