Homemade Spinach Mac and Cheese

  It is no secret that my kids are obsessed with pasta. Mac and cheese to be exact, but they do not discriminate when it comes to pasta. They will eat it anyway, shape or form. I have tried to make it a bit more nutritious like when I add cauliflower to the boxed kind but decided to push the envelope this week and try homemade spinach mac n’ cheese. Success! 1 out 2 enjoyed it thoroughly. A great way to add some iron and pump up plain mac and cheese. I will continue to try and push this on the…

Meatless Fridays – Pasta

Posted by in March

Now that its lent, for the next 9 Fridays, no meat! I have been searching for fish and vegetarian dishes to try out and can’t wait. Who knew I’d be so excited over not being able to have meat. Last Friday I was craving pasta. Nothing fancy, just a simple marinara sauce. MMMM! My husband gets mad at me because I refuse to keep any jarred pasta sauce in the house. It’s one of my weird house rules that MUST be followed. Its way too easy to whip up your own marinara sauce with some fresh ingredients than just popping…
