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.
