BBQ DINNER PLATE!!!

, , ,

DINNER WAS A KNOCKOUT TONIGHT! I was craving something homey – and what’s homier than BBQ? I wanted to do something that was non-grilling friendly (cause we can do BBQ right in the house!) I honestly can say my taste buds were #satisfied and I could not wait to share this with everyone! so here’s what’s pictured – BBQ tofu steaks, baked beans, roasted corn, roasted sweet potato, MAC AND CHEESE – side note I’ve always been lowkey scared to make vegan mac and cheese but this is something that is fun and can be played with!! I made the mac and cheese with Miyokos Creamery smoked and regular mozzarella, Kitehill cream cheese, and Violife foods Cobey jack shreds – official details below (CAN’T BELIEVE IM SAYING THAT!!!) and lastly the kale salad. I truly hope everyone had an amazing weekend! As always stay safe – love you all!
