She Ate It.
So one of my massive challenges in life is getting my 4.5 year old to eat anything other than chicken nuggets.
She's an exceptional fussy eater- she does not eat spaghetti bolognese, she does not eat pizza, she does not eat 99% of the kid food go to options.
One thing she randomly does eat is Mac n Cheese. So I have been playing with mac n cheese recipes to get more goodness into her..
And this one was a winner.
Kid friendly added goodness Mac N Cheese
Cooking Time:
20-30 Mins
Serves: 2
children 2 adults
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups pasta (I use spirals but
chose whatever wins in your house)
2 cups water (just cover pasta
and double)
2/3 cups milk
2/3 cups cheese (I use grated
cheddar)
Additional optional
extras.
1 can tuna
1 small can corn.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Cook pasta until cooked.
Set to boil- 10 mins
Add cheese & milk.
Stir until cheese is melted
& starts to thicken (3-6 mins).
Add optional extras. (Corn,
tuna, ham, pre cooked chicken nuggets, peas, salami- whatever your child will
eat…)
Add dash of salt & pepper
to taste- I'm trying to introduce them to spices so to one dash of salt three
twits of pepper)
Cook until melted through
nicely (10-15 mins).
Serve.
Note on optional extras:
You can get
creative here and add whatever you want! I generally do whatever is in the
cupboard/ fridge that she eats. This time it was tuna & corn but next
time it might be peas & chicken nuggets/ or cold ham & peas/ or salami
& corn etc.. options are endless...
Serve.
Easy Peasy and the kids smashed it!
