Healthy Mac N Cheese

I’ve trained myself over the years to disregard recipes that contain cup after cup of processed dairy ingredients, but now that I’ve worked through some of my allergies, we use high quality dairy products sparingly and have no problems with it. So when my kids begged me for this popular dish, I decided to search for a healthy mac n cheese recipe.

I ended up amending what I found still. It was a little different from the bright orange stuff we’re used to from the store, but overall, I was pleased with it. It got 7 stars out of 8 at my dinner table icon smile Healthy Mac N Cheese

This dish pairs well with salad or steamed broccoli. I took my broccoli and put it in the pot with the leftover cheese sauce and stirred to make cheesy broccoli. Yum!
