HEALTHY MACARONI AND CHEESE
This is a recipe from The Food Network's nutritionist, Elie Krieger. It is so delicious and much, MUCH better for you than regular macaroni and cheese. She used 2 oz of Monterey Jack cheese and 4 oz of cheddar, but I had better results using all cheddar, since it is more flavorful. I also use whole-wheat macaroni for more healthy grains.

I love macaroni and cheese! I've been looking for a healthy replacement of the old from the box standard. I heard you could mix in veggies and that sounds like a plus! I copied this recipe, but wanted to know the nutrition facts for a low-fat cheese.

A lighter, healthier version of traditional homemade macaroni and cheese. I used Smart Balance 50/50 butter to ad some omega 3 fatty acids.
