    I was in the mood for Mac and cheese the other day but I didn't want to make my normal not so great for you vegan Mac and cheese and a LOT of the time ill be honest I make it, toss it in the fridge and have it the next day cold straight out of the fridge so I figured why not make it that way!
    Turns out that might be pretty helpful in making it healthier.
    These are 2 tricks I found that make a better for you vegan Mac and cheese!!

    I've been enjoying the healthier direction you've been taking the channel for a while now. I love plant based bacon and burgers as much as anyone but it's good to have variety and always be looking for new ground to cover. Curious if you plan to do another book at some point down the road. I bought your previous one a couple years ago and I could see a sequel aimed at health-conscious folks being successful.

      It would be fun to write a healthier version! We'll see, this is going to be a busy year!!
      BUT Thank you so much for following along and for picking up the original book!!

    Just use whole grain pasta. You can reheat it as well. The starch. Ones turn cold, stays resistant.

      It can be disheartening to hear vegan channels talk about carbs bad, high protein, like we need extra. But, at the same time adding lots of sodium and oil. Carbohydrates ARE the human body's source. But, the extreme processed, where the fiber has been taken out, shouldn't be eaten at all.

  • @tamcon72
    @tamcon72 Před 19 dny +15

    I have not had a cold mac-n-cheese since I was of college age and too lazy to reheat the one I'd made earlier, but this looks like it could be tasty. I had always heard that the starch stabilizes after many hours of cooling, which is what makes it resistant, and that this chemical change is not reversed in reheating, so I guess you could just make this a day ahead of time, and reheat it for serving and still get the benefits. Thanks for posting 🙂

    • @SauceStache
      @SauceStache  Před 19 dny +9

      Yeah, you could totally reheat it!!! I was going to add that in, but I felt like just where it was at was a good spot to leave it off.
      There is some science that shows that you can only reheat it to a certain point where there wasnt a chemical change.. I think between 130-145º f but I needed to do a bit more research!

    I have never heard of pH influencing the content of resistant starches but cooling (preferably overnight) after cooking, just as in the case of potatoes, definitely helps a lot too! Making more pasta and using it the next day in a pasta salad is probably one of my fave things to do :D
    Also, I am glad you're still able to enjoy tasty food while making it more suitable for your new lifestyle! I am sure it'll keep you on this journey much longer (and happier) especially as you're not obsessing over it and still having occasional "treats" (like burgers etc).
    Sending you lots and lots of love Mark!

    This type of resistant starch is known as RS3, or retrograde starch/amylose. It occurs specifically after moist-heat cooking when the starch has gelatinized and then cooled. It forms crystaline structures that are harder to digest.
    (Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism 8th ed)

    • @HannahIrene719
      @HannahIrene719 Před 6 dny

      BUT what we typically think of as dietary fiber is usually RS1, which are "starch granules that are physically inaccessible to digestion due to their location within a section of the plant’s structure". A whole wheat or bean pasta would have a similar (but measurable) end result, and it can be warm!

  • @themodernhippy8946
    @themodernhippy8946 Před 16 dny

    Though cold mac and cheese isn't bad if you try thus with gluten free pasta, you will fail. This is because the starches you have to use harden in the fridge. If you overcook it becomes mush. I have tried 11 different kinds and I think this is just the nature of the pasta.
    If you aren't vegan, try using a broth with protein when you boil it. It doesnt negate carbs but adds some protein. Then after I add a little starch to the broth water to make gravy.

    So baking soda is super high in sodium. Does that count as salting the pasta water? Or would you add regular salt too? I always wonder if baking soda contributes a salty flavor or not

    • @neutronpcxt372
      @neutronpcxt372 Před 18 dny

      Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, a mild base.
      It does provide dietary sodium. However, since it contains a lower percentage of sodium per molecular weight than normal table salt (sodium chloride), you get less dietary sodium per gram than table salt.

    Just to clarify not all carbs especially vegetables are bad. I wasn't overweight by more than 15 lb. I put myself on a no spaghetti macaroni, no breads, no desserts, no oil And definitely no wine. I lost the 15 lb by eating lots of vegetables a ton of potatoes, made my own plain soy yogurt and put that over a no sugar oil granola I made. I've been plant-based for over 25 years. Keeping to that regiment of SOS, was the key to my weight loss. All these advertised weight loss gimmicks and that's just what they are. Paying money when all you have to do is go on a plant-based SOS lifestyle change. I've seen many many many success stories of obese people losing weight going on this diet.
    Believe it or not the only thing I missed was my macaroni and spaghetti. I like this recipe to reduce the carbs in pasta.
    The recipe itself I'd like to make as I have all the ingredients.

Dairy has pus, blood, feces, antibiotics, and hormones -- estrogen and progesterone found in all breast milk except hundreds of times more than in human breast milk. Cow's milk is for baby cows. When you consume cow's milk you're taking milk from baby cows and sending them to slaughter (male calves) or slavery (female calves) while also causing enormous grief and suffering to the mother cow and eventual slaughter.
