Isa has created a recipe for a creamy, gooey, melty, lucious “cheese” that can be used in a mac and cheese type meal. Her “cheese” recipe could also be used with other recipes such as a portobello or seitan “cheesesteak” sandwich.

Isa mixes this “cheese” with pasta and tops it with roasted brussel sprouts for her version of “mac and cheese”. Continue reading
