Vegan (soy Free) Mac & Cheese

Hi,

I'm looking for a vegan mac & cheese recipe. Does anyone have a cheese sauce that is soy and dairy free. I have a child who loves mac and cheese and it was easy to make when she could still eat diary and soy. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

No ideas exactly. My ds also loves pesto pasta, which you could make at home without the cheese. Nutritious, tasty, and a similar texture.

I'm not sure exactly the comparison, but you might check out a raw foods cookbook. There are "cheese-like" substitutes made with nuts (no soy/dairy) that might work. I don't know that they'd cook well, and you might want to serve it over a "raw pasta" (thinnly sliced raw zucchini, or the like), but it might be an option.

Thanks for the ideas. I've got squash growing in my garden which would work great. I've also made pesto without the cheese so this would be a great option. Much healthier than the traditional! :lol:

I would look for some Rice or Almond Cheese then mix it, melted, with Vance's Dari-Free beverage which is not sweet like Rice Dream or Almond Milk. Then I'd use my favorite pasta...Tinkyada, which is a lot of other people's fav on this board too.

You may want to try different rice or nut based cheeses.....not all of them are good tasting. It's been so long since I've bought any that I'm sorry I can recommend a brand.

That chreese stuff is nasty. Don't recommend it! Blech! If you do try it - don't expect it so taste *anything* like cheese.

That is funny! I haven't tried it but I can only imagine! :P I'll be sure and check out the rice cheese. We just found out the our child is senstitive to almonds. ;) I made a recipe from the Gluten Free Pantry webiste today for potato and cauliflower soup. I pureed the cauliflower instead of the potatos and it was really creamy. I used the Vance's DairyFree and it worked. I thought that might be good with pasta, minus the potatoes. I think I've seem that some store bought mac and cheese use tumeric for the color! I'll post the recipe when I figure a good one out.... :lol:

Thanks!

almost all rice/nut/soy based cheese have casein in them. the only truely dairy free cheese I know of are the Follow your Heart one (soy based) and Chreese.

Tiffany-

What you mentioned is amazing to me--but I've found it to be true. In my search for diary free cheese, most of the soy and nut and rice cheeses I've found have casein added back into them. And if someone isn't going diary free, I can't imagine why they want to eat nut or soy cheese ! I always just popped a lactaid pill. ;) The one cheese I've found, gluten-free/cf is this vegan cheese from soyco/galaxy foods. Haven't tasted it yet though... I've had to special order it!

Thanks ladies, I had wondered about the Rice Chesse I looked at! Developing a casein free cheese would be an awesome idea. :)

Yeepie Sunni, this is very helpful. :) Thanks for the link to your recipes, what a treat. I had no ideas that nutritional yeast could be eating by those with candida. I had just always passed it by at the health food stores. :rolleyes:

Here is some information on the Nutritional Yeast from the RedStarYeast site:

and

It mentions that it is safe for Candida sufferers. Nutritional Yeast is used in a lot of vegetarian recipes, especially cheese. Unfortunately, I am allergic to yeast which means I can't have any form of it. This is bad since I am also allergic to milk and soy. But, I have made one of the faux cheese sauce recipes without any yeast/milk/soy by adding Fleischmann's margarine + tapioca/cornstarch + mustard and spices. It seemed to work pretty well baked on a faux pizza! (It looked and tasted like pizza but without any gluten, yeast, milk, eggs or soy)

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
