Mac & Cheese Bites
I have been getting much better at planning and prepping my lunches in advance, so I always have something nutritious to eat after a morning of hard work with my organizing clients. However, sometimes, I get stuck on what to prepare in advance of the kids.
This week I decided to try making Mac & Cheese Bites. My twist to the original recipe is that I added a cup of homemade pureed butternut squash and cauliflower.
Do you usually “hide” healthy ingredients in your kids food as well?

11โ2 cups unsweetened almond milk 1โ4 tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 1โ4 cups + 2 Tbsp. grated cheddar cheese, divided use

4 oz. cooked whole-grain macaroni (approx. 2 cups)
Special equipment
Nonstick cooking spray

- Lightly coat twelve-cup muffin pan with spray. Set aside.
