Do your kids like Mac & Cheese?

I buy it for my kids every once in a while.  I usually hate giving them processed food but I found a way to make Macaroni & Cheese a little healthier.

After I make the Macaroni & Cheese, I add a can of corn and tuna for extra protein and fiber.

I am not kidding, my kids LOVE it!

(Ok, I like it too!)

It is so easy, quick and cheap to make.  Gotta love that!

Then I add fruit,  veggies and  cheese for a complete meal!

This is how I turn Mac & Cheese into a healthy meal that my kids seriously love.

This might look like a lot of food for a 5 or 3 year old, but not only did my kids eat all of this, they even asked for more.

I really try to give my family  fresh fruit and veggies with every meal.

How do you turn a “kiddish” food into a healthy meal?

Have a great day!

Even though we eat as healthy as we can, we still supplement our diet.

I give my kids Shaklee’s all natural children’s supplements.  They are the world’s best!
