Day 27 - Where's the cheese?

Mac & Cheese has always been my comfort food. I love the kd version, the gourmet versions with sharp cheddar, and everything in between - the cheesier the better. Really - one of my favourite meals is plain white pasta with marble cheese grated & melted on it with a bit of butter - it was an easy meal for a vegetarian when I was in my 20's.  Hmmm. Now that I think of it there was zero nutritional value in that meal. At all. But, boy did it taste yummy.
On the 30 day challenge needless to say there has been no carb laden, creamy gooey melting cheesy meals.  But - there is a raw vegan mac'n cheez at www.healthyfunkyfoods.com - surprisingly.  The noodles are made from zucchini & the cheez is creamy & a bit spicy with a pecan chilli crumble on top. It's not bad at all, actually - but definitely not the mac & cheese I'm used too. I find with raw vegan food if you don't expect it to taste any particular way it will surprise you & be really good.  But does it taste like what it labelled as (ie mac & cheez)?  No.  However I am always pleasantly surprised & found myself enjoying this dish.  The good part is that instead of zero nutritional value - it's 100% nutritional.  Which is a great reason to enjoy it.
