I always thought making mac ‘n cheese must be hard and that’s why everyone buys Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Boy was I wrong. It takes the same amount of time! And it’s so much better–better tasting and better for your health. Kraft mac ‘n cheese includes highly processed ingredients and food coloring. I know it’s easy to assign boxed macaroni to your kids when they’re making dinner, but shredding some cheese is the only extra step. I think the kiddos can handle that! This homemade version is full of healthy fats, probiotics, and wholesome pasta. And it’s the ultimate comfort food!
