"Cheesy" Macaroni Recipe




What’s in it

1 pound pasta (whole grain or brown rice)

Blend together:

1 1/4 cups water

1 cup plain rice milk or almond milk

2 cups softened butternut squash cut in cubes (can be steamed or roasted)

1/3 cup nutritional yeast (or brewer's yeast)

3 tablespoons arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

2 tablespoons tahini

2 teaspoons mellow white miso (or additional salt)

black pepper to taste

1/4 cup brown rice bread crumbs



How it’s made

1. Put the pasta on to boil, according to package directions. While it's cooking, blend all remaining ingredients together in a blender.

2. When the pasta is al dente, drain it, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water, and return the pasta to pan.

3. Add the sauce mixture and cook, stirring, until mixture boils and thickens. Add a little of the pasta water if more moistness is needed.

4. If the sauce is not as flavorful as you'd like, add a little more mustard and onion powder.

5. Place the pasta and the “cheese sauce” together in a large baking dish and top with brown rice bread crumbs and bake in the oven for 10-20 minutes (if you like the crispy baked kind).

6. If there is extra sauce, leave some aside for another batch.

Flu Vaccine

Test your flu IQ
1. The flu vaccine can give you the flu.


False (so false). The viruses in the flu shot formula are either killed or totally inactivated; in the nasal spray vaccine, they’re wimpier than a wet noodle. Neither form can infect you

Guyanese Pepperpot

I will try to make Pepperpot for the first time...   Ingredients   2 pounds boneless veal or 4 pounds veal with bone 2 tablespoon brown sugar 2 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper 1/2 tsp thyme 12 cloves 3 allspice berries 1/2 large onion, diced 2 celery ribs, diced 4 cups water 1/2 (15 ounce) jar Pomeroon cassareep seasoning (Brown Betty brand) 2 cinnamon sticks 1 bay leaf   Directions Add beef to large pot. Season with brown sugar, salt, pepper, seasoning salt, thyme, chili flakes, cloves, allspice, onion and celery. Add water and cassareep, and stir to blend. Float cinnamon sticks and bay leaf on top. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to simmer at least two hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone. Before serving, remove cinnamon sticks and bay leaf. Serve with Guyanese bread. Bring to a boil in the pot once daily to preserve. To keep pepperpot from spoiling, avoid dipping used utensils in the pot. Will post the picture of the end result later
