Thanksgiving 2013: Vegan Macaroni and Cheese


One of my favorite things to eat, both as a child and now as an adult, is macaroni and cheese. In fact, as a kid I'm quite sure I lived off of Kraft Mac & Cheese; but with the powdered 'cheese', milk, and butter it isn't the healthiest option.

Of course, going vegan makes finding a quality substitute a challenge. I've played around with different recipes and tried many different things. 

I showed you guys this quick microwave version, but today I want to share with you my favorite recipe for vegan friendly macaroni and cheese, that even the non-vegans will enjoy! (:

Chili Baked Potato with Facon Bits.


Today's post is going to show you a great and quick meal idea, using the facon bits I talked about yesterday! 

One of my favorite ways to eat these yummy vegan bacon bits is on a baked potato with chili. 


This delicious meal is really simple and quick. 

Underneath all that delicious chili is a baked potato with butter. I've topped mine with facon bits, which complement the Boca crumbles.
