Recipe-A-Day Challenge

Halloo!

For a long time I've wanted to become much more of a person that cooks regularly, and so I'm introducing for myself a Recipe-a-Day challenge. Don't know how long it will last...but I'm trying it anyway.

Today's recipe is half made up, half using someone else's recipe (Like most of what I end up making)

MAC AND IMAGINARY CHEEZ
The original recipe is here: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/The-Best-Vegan-Macaroni-and-Cheese-Ever-180878

Why imaginary cheez? Cuz I'm vegan.
Here's the recipe I made:

• 1 1/2 cups plain non-fat soymilk
• 1 1/2 cups nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon paprika (I didn't actually use this but I really wanted to)
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 3 ounces firm tofu
• 1 1/2 lbs macaroni noodles (or whatever the fuck noodles float your boat)
• jar sundried tomatoes
• jar kalamata olives
• half a container of fake ground beef.
  

The original recipe called for a cup of oil, but since the sundried tomatoes (something I added) already had shittons of oil in them, the extra oil seemed unnecessary

STEPS
1. preheat oven 350 degrees F
2. Boil water, dump macaroni noodles in water
3. mix up the yeast + pretend milk + salt + garlic powder + tofu in a blender = pretend cheez!
4. when noodles are done, put them in an oiled pan, dump pretend cheez on them, dump all other things on them.
5. bake 15-20-25 min until crispiness may be seen from the barely visible noodles.

optional stuff:
1. add breadcrumbs for even more texture?
2. Mix up everything before dumping it in the baking pan so its all evenly mixed?
