I didn't really make this recipe but it inspired me to find one that I could feel good about. This is just too high in fat calories and I don't use dairy. I still use eggs but I suppose I lean more towards Vegan diet. Try this recipe for truly spectacular mac n cheese, vegan style: https://nutriciou - 10/3/18
