We have tried a few healthier versions of Macaroni and Cheese, but haven't really found one we all like. Of course, this is a tough dish to replace that ooey, gooey cheese sauce we all like.
After searching the Internet, I found a few that may taste pretty good. I baked Sweet Potato Mac' n' Cheese, and we loved it! It doesn't have that cheesy taste you get with a cheese sauce but my kids devoured this.
The ingredients are simple, and some day, I hope to be making my own cottage cheese from scratch (or ricotta). I know we will be adding "sweet potatoes" to the garden this year also. For our dish, I used whole wheat penne noodles. Very simple, and very good. I had broccoli as a side dish.
I've had two good meals in a row, so the family is counting on me. I'm back to searching for clean eating dishes, and hopefully find a delicious dish again.
As for the update, hubby and I have been back to the gym for over a week now. I continue to walk on the treadmill at home and we are already feeling much better. However, I am going back to the doctor today and hopefully, they can finally put an end to my ear trouble and sinus issues.
Recycling updates: I've been collecting plastic cheese bags for the school. I hope to be sending in our first shipment this week. The school receives $.02 for each one I ship in, and the landfills will be a cleaner place.

How cool that you found another way to incorporate sweet potatoes into your diet, they are so good and good for you!
Many of the places around here have sweet potato fries. Not sure they are any better for you than regular fries but a change of pace...
Glad to hear the exercise is going well...you go girl!
