Creamy Dairy-Free Macaroni And Cheese
When it comes to healthy living and eating foods that fuel us, the bottom line is just keeping it real. If most of the time, we fill our days with real, whole foods, then our bodies will handle the times we don’t make best choices. This macaroni and cheese is one of those in-between meals.
The pasta may be processed but’s a better choice pasta, and the cream sauce is full of nutrients like vitamin C, beta carotene, magnesium, and fiber. It also happens to be pretty easy to make. I say it’s a win!
And did I mention it’s delicious?

2 tbsp pine nuts
