Thank you Alea! I found a recipe at http://www.sunfood.com for an easy homemade cashew cheese. I wonder if this would work. Something to play with, I guess =)

I will check out those links. Thank you again; I love all that you do with you website. It has been a huge help with my path to heal eczema xox.

Hi Diana,

Nutritional yeast is de-activated yeast, if you are coming from a yeast-free diet, it may in fact still be ok to eat (i just read this, may be helpful? http://www.justgoodenergy.com/2010/06/14/the-health-benefits-of-nutritional-yeast/)

However, for a Nutritional yeast free version, i did some hunting around for you- and the vegan cream sauce in this recipe looks To Die For! :) hope it helps- i love the vegan recipes at YumUniverse- she has terrific stuff– http://www.yumuniverse.com/2012/06/21/dairy-free-gluten-freepepper-portobello-mushroom-macaroni/

Hiya Rebecca!

I just bought it from my grocery store, but in case of risks for cross contamination, i think bob’s red mill has nutritional yeast, you can give them a call to find out how they make it and if the facility is safe… alternatively, if you have a local health food store, maybe they can help out for recommendations?? best of luck!! :D

Where do you get your nutritional yeast? I noticed you’re corn free as well and I haven’t been so daring as to try nutritional yeast yet since going off of all of my allergens (almost all identical to yours). A brand for your nutritional yeast would be unbelievably helpful! I can’t wait to have mac & cheese again!!

hi there Brittany- if you want, the tapioca starch can be used to thicken the sauce, but its not a ‘must’ . i like to use lots of nutritional yeast with the vinegar and sesame oil so i find i don’t need the starch. hope that helps! :)

I would really like to try this, but what do I do with the tapioca starch? It’s listed in the ingredients but never mentioned in the directions.

hey there Lindsey! here’s what you do to make it nut free:
Use 2 tbsp sunflower seed butter and 1- 2 tbsp tahini- even it out with a splash of agave nectar if you find the tastes are a bit strong, instead of using the cashew butter.
Let me know how it goes! :) alea

Would you be willing to send me the recipe without the nuts as well?
Thank you!!
