You will love it!

Sharing with you one of my all-time favorite comfort foods: Vegan Mac and Cheese. I use carrots in this recipe, but if you prefer, you can easily substitute it with butternut squash for a delicious fall / wintery twist. What makes this recipe even better is its simplicity. You'll find it so easy to prepare. I recommend making a larger batch of the sauce (x4) and storing it in the fridge. This way, you'll have a quick and delicious meal prep option for the entire week.
