You should give this dairy, soy, and wheat-free macaroni and cheese recipe a try!

A while back Brad was in the mood for scalloped potatoes. Being allergic to both dairy and soy made all the cheese sauce substitute recipes I found impossible. I tried some using nutritional yeast, many say that it adds a cheesy taste to a “cheese” sauce. We never got that. The craving for scalloped potatoes also came around the same time as my discovery of Daiya Cheese Shreds. Though pretty expensive, I fell in love with them as a cheese substitute. We only use them every once in a while because of their expense. The “cheese” sauce I was able to create using the Daiya Shreds was very yummy and actually tasted like a comparable dairy filled counterpart.

My mom had the idea to use this sauce base for a macaroni and cheese – using gluten free noodles of course. The result was delicious! We added cubed ham as well. My next “project” is creating a bread crumb topping for this….

If you’re someone who suffers from allergies or intolerances, finding delicious and safe foods to eat can be a challenge. But fear not, because this dairy, soy, and wheat-free macaroni and cheese recipe is a game-changer.

Here are just a few reasons why you should give this recipe a try:

Allergy-friendly

As mentioned, this recipe is free from three of the most common allergens: dairy, soy, and wheat. For anyone with a food allergy or intolerance, this is a huge relief. But just because it’s free from these ingredients doesn’t mean it’s lacking in flavor or texture. The sauce is still creamy and the pasta is still perfectly tender.

It’s easy to make

You don’t need to be a gourmet chef to make this recipe. In fact, it only requires a few simple ingredients and steps. The sauce is made by whisking together a few pantry staples like almond milk, nutritional yeast, and cornstarch. Then, you simply toss the cooked pasta in the sauce and bake it until it’s bubbly and golden. Easy peasy!

It’s comfort food at its finest

Who doesn’t love a good bowl of mac and cheese? This recipe is no exception. The creamy sauce combined with the comforting texture of the pasta is the ultimate comfort food. It’s the kind of dish that’s perfect for a cozy night in or a pick-me-up when you’re feeling down.

It’s versatile

While this recipe is already delicious on its own, it’s also incredibly versatile. You could add some veggies like broccoli or cauliflower for an extra nutritional boost. Or, you could swap out the pasta for gluten-free or grain-free options like quinoa or chickpea pasta. The possibilities are endless!

It’s a healthier alternative

Traditional mac and cheese is often loaded with butter, cheese, and heavy cream. While delicious, these ingredients can also be high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium. This recipe, on the other hand, uses healthier alternatives like almond milk and nutritional yeast to achieve that cheesy flavor without all the extra calories and fat.

You should give this dairy, soy, and wheat-free macaroni and cheese recipe a try. It’s allergy-friendly, easy to make, comforting, versatile, and a healthier alternative to traditional mac and cheese. What more could you ask for?
