MAC & CHEESE

 

I cringe each time my 6'2", 17 yr. old son says "I'll just make Mac 'n Cheese" when asked if he is hungry. For the most part I have backed way off in offering unrequested nutritional advice. One has to choose their battles carefully with a teenager. I began buying the healthiest boxed Mac 'n Cheese I could find. Since he likes to add (I don't know if I am able to write it) hot dogs also, I buy the nitrate-free-please-make-these-be-real-food kind. I still cringe. I don't eat this way. How did the first box of Mac 'n Cheese get in this house anyway!

Yesterday while doing the Mac 'n Cheese ritual, I paused.
I smiled.
I had, in my opinion anyway, a great idea!
I looked around to see if he was watching me.
You know the part of making the Cheese sauce for the Mac?
Well, rather than adding butter or margarine to the milk I added
1 TABLESPOON VIVAGAVE!!!
I mixed the milk, cheese powder and Vivagave until blended then poured it on the Mac, mixed well over low heat.
I served it up to him and waited.
"This is good." he said.
He ate the whole box of it.
Nothing new with that.
What is new is the added 10grams of FIBER FROM THE VIVAGAVE!

Now I'm inspired...I feel another idea coming on!

All good things,

faye
