Healthier Mac and Cheese
No, really. I mean it. Healthier Mac and Cheese.
Who doesn’t love mac & cheese? It tastes like home and is comfort food for a couple of my daughters. I love to find new ways to make an old stand by a little healthier and a little bit more guilt-free, and I feel like I have hit a home run if it tastes as good as the original. My husband isn’t a big fan of mac & cheese but he really liked this recipe because it also has a little kick to it!
