Tips

• We suggest using cashew cheese over dairy in the mash. Alternatively, there are some awesome hemp "parmesans" around atm which would be great sprinkled on top
• Penny's Gut Loving Mayo recipe is delicious and great to have on hand. Make a batch to use in the slaw and use the rest on EVERYTHING
