Hey Mellow

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!
