re: Healthy kids meals

I have a vegan cheese sauce recipe that’s bomb for Mac and cheese. It’s vegetable based and can be put over broccoli or whatever veggies. Kids love it! And you can sneak in some nutrients. I have posted a thread in the past on it, if you want to look at my topic history you’ll find it. But here it is...

Cheese sauce:
3 small gold potatoes (chopped)
1 carrot (chopped)
1 small yellow onion (chopped)
1/4-1/2 cup cashews (soaked for 4 hrs... or just boil longer until they’re soft)

As for the seasonings I do about:
2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp paprika (smoked paprika if you want)
1/4 tbsp turmeric / mustard powder (one both or neither, doesn’t matter)

Added to the pot with the veggies.

When you add water, add just enough water to cover them, not much more. Then boil for 40 min or so, let cool. add the juice of a lime, blend it a little then taste. Also add 1/4-1/2 cup nutritional yeast. —- you may need more salt

Cashews can be left out. Don’t do smoked paprika if it’s for kids, it’ll give it too much heat. Btw, although it doesn’t develop the flavor as much, this can all be thrown in the instant pot (add lime and nutritional yeast after it’s done) and made in 20 minutes or so. I use a vitamix but you can use whatever
