Homemade Macaroni & Cheese and #BakingForKate Preview

One of the hardest parts of my job as a mom is finding foods that Princess P wants to eat.  She's a typical picky toddler.  When she actually finds something she likes, she'll want to eat only that until she gets tired of it.  I swear this child lived on chicken nuggets & smiley face potatoes for about 3 months.  And then one day she wouldn't touch them. 

I thought I was going to lose my mind.

Which is why I get so excited when I find a recipe that she likes & will eat more than once!  Which is why I am currently loving my girl Carrie from Frugal Foodie Mama!  I decided to try her Easy Cheesy Stove Top Mac 'n Cheese for Princess P & we had a winner!  And then when the Hubs got home and saw a huge bowl of mac & cheese in the fridge, he didn't even bother warming it up.  Nope, he just chowed down on cold mac n cheese.  I'm going to go with that means it's a winner in his book too.



The recipe couldn't have been any easier!  One pot and about 20 minutes later, I had a homemade bowl of mac n cheese for Princess P's lunch plus enough left over to feed her lunch again even after the Hubs had his fair share :)

I made her recipe as is, so if you're looking for a great and easy homemade macaroni & cheese, head over to Frugal Foodie Mama to grab the recipe!!






Another reason I love Carrie is because she has such an amazing heart!!  Carrie has been spending her free time lately planning & organizing an online bake sale to honor her friend Kate!
