Vegan Mac and Cheese with Acorn Squash

Thanks! Share it with your friends!

Close

Holy this stuff is amazing. We’re making a healthy yet absolutely delicious plant based version of “Cheese Pasta” or Mac and Cheese with a bit of inspiration from Corrine’s Nanny on the Bachelor.. (Don’t watch but gf does..) 😪 We use some awesome ingredients including Acorn Squash, and keep it super cheap as per usual. Looking at about $2.75 per serving here. I’m loving these vegan and vegetarian recipes.

Recipe:
1 Acorn Squash (Quartered)
3 tbsp of Olive Oil
1 tsp of Salt
1 Medium Onion (chopped)
1/2 cup of Almond Milk [or Coconut]
1 tsp of Garlic Powder
3 tbsp of Nutritional Yeats
2 tbsp of Miso Paste
2 cups of Pasta

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and drizzle 2 tbsp of Olive Oil over Acorn Squash on a cast iron or baking sheet, and bake for 35 minutes till soft. Can flip onto sides to add color. Remove Acorn Squash from oven and carefully peel skin off when soft. Chop into smaller pieces (Cast iron let’s you save on washing additional pan) [Alternatively, you can skip this step, peel the raw squash and fry it with onions till soft].

2. In a large pot preheat a pot of salted water. In a large pan on medium-high heat, add remaining oil, and fry onions till they start to brown. Add Squash and continue to cook down till soft. Add a bit of water if it starts to stick. Add garlic powder, almond milk, nutritional yeast, and Miso paste.

3. Cook pasta in pot of water till al dente, drain pasta but leave about 1/2 cup of salted starchy water in pot, and add to the sauce. Mix till some of the water evaporates, garnish with fresh herbs, and you’re ready to serve.

Egg Muffin Omelette Cups | Breakfast Meal Prep at $1/Serving

Today we make baked egg muffin omelette cups, for a healthy breakfast meal prep to be eaten throughout the week. Each egg muffin cost's less than $1 per serving, and is a great breakfast to take on the go when you're pressed for time.

Recipe
- 2 tbsp of oil (bacon lard, olive oil, butter or coconut oil)
- 1/2 cup of onion (chopped)
- 1 cup of bell pepper (chopped)
- 1 cup of mushrooms (chopped)
- 2 cups of Kale or Spinach (chopped)
- 12 Eggs
- 1 Cup of Cheese (Shredded)
- 1/2 cup of cooked bacon (chopped)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat a large saute pan on medium high heat and add 1 1/2 tbsp of oil. Then fry your onions for 1-2 minutes, followed by bell peppers, and spices. Mix well with a spatula and then add mushrooms. Fry mushrooms for a minute then add spinach or kale. Mix around, and turn off heat.

2. Crack your eggs in a large mixing bowl, and whisk for 1 minute. Then grease the inside of your muffin tin with remaining oil, using a brush or paper towel. Evenly distribute the scrambled egg into the muffin tray. Then add your sauteed veggies, bacon, and cheese till muffin tins are full.

3. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees. Using a spatula, carefully remove the egg muffins, and let cool. When at room temperature, pack away in a tupperware with a paper towel. Replace paper towel, if it gets soggy. Serve with your favourite condiment for eggs.

You can eat cold, but to reheat, place in microwave for 30 seconds.
