It's a good thing I can't watch the Oscars (thanks ABC and Cablevision) because I'm studying for a test tomorrow. It's insurance and I keep falling asleep when I try to read it. Anyways here's to diversions like blogging and cooking....
Last week I stopped in the bodega in my building for a snack and bought some Ritz crackers but when I tried to spread on some tofutti cream cheese they all totally fell apart. I was crushed. So I was trying to think about what to do with a bunch of ritz cracker crumbs. A quick internet search including ritz and vegan lead me to Lindy Loo at Yeah, That "Vegan" Shit and a lovely recipe for Mac & Cheese topped with Ritz. I followed the recipe, but I still don't see why you need to make the white sauce and cheeze sauce separately. Anyway, it was still easy and I only had half a box of elbow macaroni, so I only used 1/2 the cheese sauce and the extra pan came in handy for mixing. 
The verdict? This is some super awesome mac & cheese. Too bad I don't have any stewed tomatoes or it would be just like grandma used to make. Well, not my grandma, but everyone else's mom-mom I knew growing up in Delaware.
Another Delawarian! Finally!
ReplyDeleteThat does look like some super creamy and easy mac!
That looks super-creamy and delicious! I love that Lindy Loo, but my blog reader doesn't update her posting times so I often forget to check it since I tend to use my blog reader to figure out who has posted when. Boo! Thanks for the reminder to head over there!
ReplyDeleteI saw the title and couldn't wait to read about the mac n cheese, but I got totally distracted by the revelation that RITZ crackers are vegan! Dynamite (and life-changing) news. Thanks!!
ReplyDeletesweet! i've been dreaming up some recipes that use mac & cheese as an ingredient. the box stuff just doesn't compare - thanks for the link to the recipe!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. I had some Mac and "chreese" last night and it was gross. I just started eating vegan. Do you ask what is in everything at restaurants?
ReplyDeleteI love this! So creamy and comforting! *drool*
ReplyDeleteMeh. I didn't even watch the Oscars this year. I have watched them religiously every year since I was a child, but this year they just seemed meh. How did your test go? :)
