Notes

If you have questions about using flax seeds in recipes, please refer to a previous article that I wrote titled, "Substitute Flax Seeds for Eggs When Baking."
The almond milk adds a welcomed nutty taste to the recipe.
You may have to experiment with several vegan cheeses to find one that your family likes. If your family does not like garlic, experiment with italian seasonings or just use salt and pepper.
