SOOO I was CRAVING Mac & Cheese today but I really try to avoid eating anything from a box or can when I'm able.
So I decided to make my own recipe for homemade Mac & Cheese.
Guys, it was a HUGE success!! You have to try it!!
1 Cup Uncooked Whole Wheat/Spinach Fortified Noodles
1 Cup Mild Cheddar Cheese
1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
1 Heaping tsp Flour
1/2 Cup Milk
Boil noodles until tender. Drain, and prepare sauce in same pan before returning noodles to the pan. Melt butter on medium heat, slowly stir in milk and flower. Add 1/2 of the cheese and stir until melted. Return noodles to the pan. Stir and coat with cheese sauce, add remaining cheese and stir until well mixed! Add a little fresh ground black pepper and serve! (Serves 1-2/ This recipe is EASY to double or triple depending on your needs.)
*Let me just make one thing clear: I am ALL ABOUT eating healthy, cooking at home, and eating clean whenever possible. However; this does not mean I absolutely avoid butter and flour at all costs. When eaten in moderation you will not notice negative effects on your health. If you are more of a health nut than me, feel free to substitute with whole wheat flour/Greek Yogurt or anything else that works for you! (Yours just might not taste as good as mine did ;) lol.) I am still a real person, cooking for a real family and sometimes it's not worth the worry when I substitute a million other healthy choices throughout my day! I'm all about making healthy choices.. But not gonna lie and pretend I don't eat a little bit of the "bad stuff" sometimes too!
Anyways, hope you enjoy this recipe! I will never eat the boxed stuff again!!
Love you!
