Spicy 🌶 Golden Chedda Mac & Cheese with Plant-Based Chicken Nuggets

The delicious hot sauce I use in this plant-based, creamy, cheezy, spicy Mac is Hillside Harvest Sun Kissed Tomato Hot Sauce. It is made locally by a friend of mine Kamaal Jarrett. You can buy his delicious hot sauce in any Massachusetts Whole Foods. He is also expanding to retail locations in NY & NJ! Check out his tasty product on social media (or click on this link). #shoplocal #localbusiness #supportive #startuplife #founder


The Plant-Based Chicken Nuggets are made by Nowadays. I was fortunate enough to speak with the lovely co-founder Max Elder about his journey creating a plant-based meat product and starting a successful business. Nowadays is expanding their sales network as well. They will begin selling at west coast Whole Foods locations!


I feel so excited and supported by so many startup founders. I am grateful for their time and support and I bring to you a delicious recipe inspired by all three of our products! #networking #foodie #recipe #vegan #healthy #happy #friendship #startups
