Fit, Fresh Mac & Cheese

MMMM... I love mac & cheese! Do I ever eat it? Not since I was a kid, scarfing down the orange powdered cheese and noodles from a box. I've since learned how un-natural and un-nutritious the packaged stuff is. This doesn't mean mac & cheese is always a "no no". A few extra steps and a few healthy ingredients can turn a zero in a hero ;-) haha... cheesy, right? That's fitting for this post ;-)

The mac & cheese I want to share with you is SMOKED SALMON WHITE MAC & CHEESE. It's loaded with protein, whole grains, omegas & nutrients... the best part is, it tastes like a guilty pleasure!
