Annie's Vegan Mac and Cheese Is.... Great!!!!!

 Back when I first decided to go vegan. I picked up a box of Annie's vegan mac and cheese. It's not the powdered mix, but the creamy cheese sauce packet kind. I remember it being on sale, and several people on Instagram had recommended it to me. I've been let down by every single boxed mac and cheese I've tried, so I actually ended up using the shell pasta for some other recipe, and just threw the cheese packet in the pantry. 

Well, yesterday was just one of those days. I wanted something easy and I guess kind of junky and fun for dinner. I had some random small pasta that I used in place of the original shell. When I first stirred the cheese into the warm pasta, the smell was that typical cheese smell and honestly I was scared. I was sure this was going to be another nasty mac and cheese. Before even tasting it, I doused it with hot sauce and pepper, and considered ketchup which I've never had on mac and cheese, but I've heard helps mask nastiness. 

If I would have used all of the cheese sauce I'm sure it would look even creamier. But I used about half because I figured less is better when it comes to these vegan cheese sauces. 

I really should have tasted before judging, because this didn't need anything to mask the nastiness, cause there was no nastiness! The flavor was nice and cheese-y, not fake cheese-y at all. And the texture of the cheese was great. It easily melted into the pasta. I know a few I've tried mixing has been an issue. I really was so surprised! I totally give this a ten out of ten, will buy again!

I've seen this milkadamia milk at Sprouts, but it's always expensive so I've never tried it. But I came across this creamer on sale so I decided to try it. The texture and consistency are great, I do wish it had a stronger cinnamon flavor. I'll stick with silk for my regular creamer, but this is okay, and I love moo is moot!!!
