I am straying a bit from our typical gluten and dairy-free theme this week, sharing one of many issues I make my two daughters who haven’t got meals restrictions. Everybody loves a superb mac and cheese, however one thing I battle with the variety of commonplace meals which are simply in a different way formed mixtures of grain and dairy. Mac and cheese. Cereal and milk. Quesadillas. Grilled cheese sandwich. Nachos. Crackers and cheese. Cheese pizza. Biscuits and gravy. On and on and on, with nary a vegetable in sight. And whereas I am not within the “completely by no means” camp on this stuff, I do assume that folks usually really feel greatest in the event that they eat fruits or greens with each meal. So I began making butternut squash mac and cheese for my children, and saved making it for me.

I hope you give this one a attempt, and in case you do let me know what you assume! It is my favourite mac and cheese recipe so far, and one thing I really feel at the least a bit of higher about indulging in.
