Not a mac-n-cheese lover but my kids are. We have made the cashew version of this dish before but in this age when some food items are pricey to those who cannot afford it, I made this potato and carrot version which is more budget-friendly. I love the fact that it’s still tasty. Thanks to the nutritional yeast’s cheesy kick ! Good for about 4 people.
