One of my favourite vegan comfort foods is macaroni and cheese. I’m sure many people are with me on that one. Vegan or not! I’ve come across many recipes but I end up re-vamping it and adding or excluding ingredients to suit my liking.  Also not all vegan cheeses are created equal as we know! It has to melt for goodness sake! My favorite vegan cheese on the market is daiya  hands down. It tastes great and melts perfectly in every recipe I’ve used it for.  This is my favourite recipe for maccaroni and cheese …
