Guys, I confess with this one I licked the bowl. But it’s okay to lick the bowl if it’s only vegetables, right? :)

Here’s my revised version of Oh She Glows Butternut Squash mac n’ cheese. I almost completely omitted the nutritional yeast and it is so much better! Nutritional yeast might be really healthy for you, but it sure takes some time getting used to. I had almost completely sworn it off forever, but almost two months later I’m slowly getting more used to it.

Click here for the original recipe (scroll down, it’s there!) and here are my revisions:

• Either completely omit the nutritional yeast, or start with 1 tablespoon at a time. The recipe calls for 6, but 1 was enough for my taste buds.
• I didn’t salt and pepper the butternut squash as I roasted it. I just seasoned my final “cheese” product as needed, because it was already quite salty.
• I didn’t think I’d like the texture of a lettuce-y vegetable mixed into my noodles, so I mixed in green beans, carrots, corn and peas instead. But I totally think you could leave it out!
