Yeah, I know about the benefits of Quinoa, but I havent quite yet found the right recipes, or figured out how to cook it properly because it always tastes funny to me. I have some in my pantry... I've just been too lazy to cook it recently since the previous times have been disasterous!
The mac n cheese thing was really just an example. I don't really want it right now, I'm looking ahead towards when the fast is over, for the things that I'll be able to eat if I choose to try to continue on doing the vegan thing. You confirmed my fear though - that those vegan alternative products are just a bunch of processed garbage. Looks like noodles with EVOO, garlic and grated up macadamia or brazil nuts (to mimic parmesan cheese) is in my pasta future.
Thank for your responses
