![]() So keep that in mind the next time you are at a restaurant and have to struggle to find out if there is lactose in the dish you want to enjoy! Evolution has shown that this is a great mutation (which is why we are in the minority), and it makes it possible for people to get great nutrition from milk and dairy products for their entire life! But it isn’t the way any other mammal species gets nutrition. ![]() Everyone else you know has the mutation for “Lactase Persistence”. In the animal world, there is only one bizarre species that consumes milk (of other species!) long after weaning: humans. My last comment for all of you out there who are Lactose Intolerant, you need to know that YOU ARE THE NORMAL ONES. I am not a spokesperson and none of my opinions have been bought or paid for - I just want you all to know that there is REAL sour cream, and REAL cream cheese and REAL yogurt that you can enjoy again! LF sisters and brothers: there is a great line of LF products out there that are REAL DAIRY that I have only found at Whole Foods. Look for a blue cylindrical container at your grocer. Progresso makes an Italian-seasoned panko that is LF and adds another layer of flavor to the Mac. I don’t make mine GF, so I’m free to use breadcrumbs. Almost cream sauce without the cream, if you get my drift. and flour and make a veloute sauce using chicken broth or water with bouillon cubes. What the heck, add chopped bacon to the Mac while you’re at it! I LOVE lactaid - but when we run out I make a roux with oil/bacon fat/etc. Just reduce salt and taste before seasoning. If you’re not afraid of bacon (animal fat is animal fat, just saltier than butter with no lactose!), reserve bacon fat and substitute it for butter when making sauces. Hope these tips help some of you out there: I like mixing up my herbs for that fresh-from-the-garden flavor, but if you only have one on hand or don’t like one of my choices, just sub it out for another herb.So glad to find your website! I’ve been making a similar Baked Mac-n-Cheez since I figured out that aged cheeses were safe for my belly! (Who knew, right? Look for 0 g sugars but take a lactase pill just for safety! Swiss, provolone, parm, romano, etc are all usually LF.) The potatoes, boiled and processed in a food processor, release their starches and become downright gooey, while the nutritional yeast adds a cheesy touch and tons of B vitamins, and the garlic, onion and tamari contribute that umami savoriness. I’m not sure what the Winvian Farm chef used, but I went for one of my favorite cheese sauce bases, which ingeniously combines potatoes, nutritional yeast, garlic and onion powder, and tamari. There’s something about the combo of healthy fresh herbs and greens with a decadent cheese sauce, about getting to have the best of the nourishing world with the best of comfort food.Īnd, truly, this pasta is super nourishing. The pasta dish was an herby, creamy, cheesy Alfredo that was plate-licking good. We snuck away a few weeks back for a weekend filled with naps and reading and delicious food, and the farm-to-table meal absolutely blew our minds. This dish is inspired by an amazing dinner Zack and I had at the Winvian Farm restaurant in Connecticut. I’ve long been a huge pesto fan (my Thai pesto pasta is a perennial favorite), but I’ve never really gone beyond that in the green pasta realm (I know you’re like, yes, Liz, that’s because there is no green pasta realm, and to you I say: stay tuned!). In the meantime, this has become a staple weeknight dinner. I’m deeply looking forward to summer, when a bit of the chaos is behind us and we’re settled into our new space, my book baby is out in the world, and we can relax a bit. Now, though, we’re buried in the minutiae of moving, trying to source boxes and clear out our closets and debate the likelihood of getting bed bugs from using NYC movers (I hear the bugs are really common in the blankets, but if anyone has any experience with this, please let me know!). We finally found an apartment, which I’m so excited about-it’s in a neighborhood I refer to as the West Village of Brooklyn, filled with cobblestone streets and quaint brownstones and bars with live music and cafes with tiny tables perfect to wile away a Sunday at. Is it mid-March already, guys? Where does the time go? This month has been absolutely crazy for Zack and me, as he’s had trips to both California and London, and I’ve been running all over town hunting for a new apartment while prepping for my cookbook launch (April 11! So soon! Stay tuned for a pre-order special next week). Patrick’s Day was coming up until Zack, upon tasting this dish, reminded me. A surefire hit with kids and adults alike! This dairy-free green macaroni and cheese gets its vibrant color from fresh herbs and spinach blended into a nutritional yeast-based cheese sauce, making it a way healthier, more delicious version of the childhood classic.
