Simple Meals ~ Mac & Cheese

We just don't do fast food that much.

Holiday Road Trip,

Holiday shopping,

Occasional wEEkends,
maybe 5 times the whole year.

Other than than, if We eat out, its usually a restaurant.

If you think about it, fresh foOd is just as easy, 

and once you get in the habit, its quick.

Bonus: Kids can help, Kids love to help, Kids want to help.

Got to start with the simple stuff.

Mac and Cheese is about as simple as it gets.

The only thing simpler and easier is eating an apple.

Ingredients:

Pasta ~ get all different shapes. We like Shells, Twisties, and Spaghetti {which is great for baked mac&cheese}

Grated cheese ~ we use medium sharp

Timer

Big Pot

Boil the pasta according to its directions on package 

{angel hair will cook a lot faster than shells} in Big Pot.

TEACH YOURSELF AND THE CHILDREN TO TURN HANDLES TOWARD BACK OF STOVE!!

Set your timer!

While pasta is cooking, grate the cheese.  

Make sure and grate a bit extra for kids to eat, cause, they will.

Divide pasta into bowls and sprinkle grated cheese over pasta.

Add cut up apple or applesauce {or other fruit~ veggie choice}.
as a side.

Enjoy.
