It seems like all kids like Mac & Cheese... it's like the go to food when your toddler doesn't want to eat anything. Now... not there's anything wrong with this meal, but I just can't bring myself to feed my one year old white noodles with processed cheese. There just isn't any nutrition in that, and it panics me - haha! I know, I'm a bit overboard. BUT, my goal in feeding Tilman is to do things in moderation and to let him try "kid" foods... but to make things as healthy as possible for the most part. Don't get me wrong, he's had ice cream & loves goldfishes but I want meal-time to be nutritious! So, I adapted the typical Mac & Cheese made and created Mac & Hummus - he loved loved loved it! Yay!!
Here's how I made it (it was just as simple as boxed mac!) I cooked some whole grain noodles, tossed in frozen peas & then topped his portion with 2 scoops of homemade hummus (see my recipe for BEET HUMMUS). These ingredients made the meal Elyse Approved! He got whole grains, veggies, protein & fiber! It was a winning meal for us both! Then, he hit the gym - LOL!!
