Easy Real Food Stove Top Macaroni and Cheese
This week, I'm sharing a family favorite in my house. We have always loved macaroni and cheese but usually relied on the boxed version before we switched to eating a real food diet.
When we finally made the switch, one of the first things I was on the lookout for was a quick and easy whole food macaroni and cheese recipe that my kids would love.
As I do with most recipes, I tweaked this one to suit our tastes.
Sometimes I'll add in veggies or meat, usually cooking the veggies with the noodles. I also double this recipe for a family meal and sometimes mix different cheese for different flavors.
I hope you enjoy! If you try this, let me know in the comments how it turned out.
