In an attempt to follow Pollan's Food Rule about only eating junk food if you make it yourself - I made mac and cheese from scratch for the first time! It was very easy. I used vegetable macaroni and mild chedder cheese shredded. When the pasta boiled, I added cheese, salt, pepper and oregano and mixed until the cheese melted. The difference in taste between homemade and the powdered junk out of the box was enormous! Try it yourself and you'll never go back to boxed mac and cheese again.
Note: to make the dish even healthier and a more balanced meal you can add grilled chicken and peas or corn.
Hi Sana,
ReplyDeleteLove your site. It is so informative.
Where do you buy the vegetable macaroni? This sounds kind of easy and really good.
Thanks,
Jennie
Veggie macaroni is multi-colored - orange, green and yellow. Each color usually represents a veggie (ex. green=spinach). You can buy them from most grocery stores. My favorite store is Trader Joes!
ReplyDeleteAdd a bit of milk to give the mac n cheese a creamier flavor.
