Mac ‘N Cheese has no age limit, but we all know that kids could eat it for every meal. Boxed, commercial mac ‘n cheese varieties contain a lot more than shells and cheese — it’s often shells and a lot of processed, powdery preservatives. I wanted to come up with something that appealed to kids, yet is packed with a lot of nutrients. This mac ‘n cheese is not only loaded with nutrient-rich ingredients, but is also gluten-free!
