Mac and Cheese (decadent version)



I had previously posted a recipe for shells and cheese using healthy ingredients such as tofu, carrots, and nutritional yeast for the sauce. Here is a recipe that's a bit more decadent and I have found to be extremely satisfying when you are looking for something REALLY "cheesy!"

Mac and Cheese

1/2 lb whole wheat macaroni (feel free to use any small pasta)
2 tbs non-hydrogenated, non-dairy butter (I use Earth Balance)
3 tbs whole wheat pastry flour
1.5 C soy milk
1 C shredded vegan cheddar cheese (or 8 slices of vegan cheddar ripped into pieces if you can't find shredded)
1 tsp spicy mustard
hot sauce to taste
salt and pepper to taste

Cook your pasta and set aside. In a pan, melt the non-dairy butter and mix in the pastry flour. Add the soymilk and mix well until thoroughly combined (use a whisk if you have one). Add the "cheese" and stir over medium heat until the cheese melts. Add the mustard, salt, and pepper. Heat for 2-3 minutes longer until sauce begins to bubble. Turn of heat and toss with pasta. Finish off with some hot sauce if you prefer. I served mine with some swiss chard.

Raw Food Homophobes

While a raw food diet truly makes no sense for an ethical vegan , there’s another unethical consideration that should be taken into account. There’s a lot of evidence that many males in the raw foods movement are flat out homophobic. Not only homophobic, but also ignorant and disgusting bigots. Take the Raw Brahs for example, who recently made an extremely homophobic video featuring the self-proclaimed “ Life Regenerator .” The video features them taking a shower together and making homophobic statements and gestures to each other. The Raw Brahs are, to their own admission, “ solar powered Christian raw food radically honest nomadic elitist minimalist brothers .” In a book entitled, The Raw Controversies , page 118 cites that, “According to David [Wolfe] , Durian was a gay guy that went raw, and then 'left the dark side' and decided to go for women. David and Stephen [Arlin] were convinced that homosexuality could be 'cured' by the raw food diet. More speci...

Krony 2012

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it’s probable that you are at least remotely aware of the video that’s been sweeping the nation, Kony 2012 .  Produced and released by the nonprofit, Invisible Children (IC), the film is clearly compelling and has an almost hypnotic vibe to it.  The video does an excellent job at persuading the unthinking youth of the US with vivid images, emotional storytelling, techno music, and colorful Kony 2012 kits that come complete with signs and bracelets.  For only a few bucks a month, you can feel like you’re making even more of a difference for this tremendous cause, which over 77 million people have tuned into at most recent count. So, who exactly is Kony?  What’s the deal with Invisible Children and is there something we aren’t being told about this cause?  Since the videos release, the have been numerous, credible criticisms of the film.  So many, that the CEO of Invisible Children even released a video to dispute ...
