My three kids and I have been loving a plant-based mac and cheese made with boiled carrots and potatoes. I saw a green mac and cheese on TV the other day and decided to create a similar version but plant-based with boiled potatoes and broccoli. It is cheesy with the nutritional yeast. A perfect midweek dinner!
