Finally got the house cleaned and got to go shopping. For a weeks worth of meals and a few extras, we only spent $23 at Save-A-Lot (mostly on Produce) and $68 at Walmart, with a few needed and unnecessary things added in there. I'd say for the weekly meals we probably only spent $50? Not sure if that is good or not, but we'll find out as time goes on.
We already had some elbow macaroni made and we were sick of the usual pasta sauce or garlic and olive oil we had been using, so we decided to find something new. Thanks for my cheese loving friend Ally, I looked to the "The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook" and decided to make a 'cheez' sauce for some mac & cheez. Due to copyright laws I am not sure if I can post the entire recipe here, but if you own the book I used the "Amazing Mac 'N Cheez Sauce" on page 64. It used flour, nutritional yeast, salt, onion powder, garlic, paprika, mustard, olive oil, and rice milk. I'm not sure how that combination of things give you the slighly cheezy taste it does, but it works and was quite tasty! If you are looking for it to taste like cheese, I don't think it really does, but it is definitely worth a try!
Day 1 of Veganism complete. Wonder what I'll make tomorrow!
