Mac and cheese

We do easy Mac once a week and I pair it with some fruits and veggies! Right now my kids are on a cucumber kick. So we do that a lot.

Really your own personal opinion I think. Some would say the salt or process food not good. Personally a bit okay in my opinion. But there are very easy veggie Mac n cheese where you steam squash and mix shredded cheese. Blend it. It actually taste pretty good.

@Sam so doing veggie puree with it is fine. She’s 11 months old.

I think so!

@Ally I don’t have the time to hand make homemade Mac n cheese and she’s not getting the entire bowl. And I don’t give her pasta a lot.

With thanksgiving being this week I'm already tapped out making daily meals so I threw together some Mac and cheese and a side of peas and oranges last night. Don't overthink food. Just add what you can when you can ♥️

@Chrissy thank you. Now I don’t feel so bad.

I think one of the concerns is excess phosphates as an additive in microwaveable Mac and cheese which in high quantities has been linked to kidney and heart issues

@Victoria~ I asked if it was ok to give her with a veggie puree as a side.

@Rosemary McMurray yes and I was saying it’s probably not okay to give her at all

Yeah, I usually mix it into the Mac & cheese itself tbh

@Brynne awesome I’ll try that. Thank you!’

My daughter likes the lil Mac n cheese bowls and they’re super easy. I usually will make a side of steamed broccoli or carrots of something with it or add some chicken or steak with the Mac occasionally too

I steam broccoli and add it in

@Lilly I’m only gonna use them for like “on the go” meals especially when I’m in a hurry. Or she’s being too fussy for me to be able to take the time to make her something.

here in the uk you can get childrens one with low salt so maybe worth checking if you can get that? if not i wouldnt worry too much

You could mix the puree into the mac and cheese?

Mine love any form of mac and cheese. I’ve done my own and gave them microwave meals but my oldest will eat one to himself
