Broccoli Mac n' Cheese (great for toddlers). I personally am not a fan of mac n cheese but this tasted perfect and have searched for years for a recipe that was creamy, not dry, chalky or have any dreaded eggs in it. This healthier version of macaroni and cheese uses whole grain pasta and reduced fat cheese. Make if for dinner and see what your kids say.
I added a touch of turmeric in addition to salt and pepper too.
This makes a whole bunch of mac'n'cheese so there will be plenty of leftovers (no complaints here!)!
Try adding different veg to macaroni cheese to give it a new, healthy twist - use steamed carrots and sliced courgettes or chopped, roasted peppers.
