Healthy Mac and cheese recipe

My 10 yr old daughter would like to know if anyone has a healthy version of her fav- Mac and cheese.  My girls are very supportive of me getting healthy and I think my new way of eating is rubbing off on them.  

Thanks

I just found this recipe on the food network website:)

Macaroni and 4 cheese

You could try this:

Lower Fat Macaroni and Cheese

I prefer real cheese but if you want to use low fat cheese up the quantitiy to 1 1/4 cups, and the calories/serving drops from 367 to 318. It actually tastes better reheated the next day.

I make this Low Fat Cheese Sauce, using cheddar cheese, then stir in macaroni.  It makes good baked macaroni if you like a nice brown top.

Wow, this recipe is 395 calories per serving!   

I made a home made mac and cheese with shredded veggie cheese also comes in blocks and slices(MUCH lower in fat and calories than regular cheese, as well as high in protein, and its dairy free..they also have different flavors which you can mix and it turns out really delicious), whole wheat shells or penne (texture can sometimes be an issue so i tend to over cook for a minute or two so its softer) Add some sea salt, cracked pepper, I also add some diced peppers and tomato and then baked until the top is a little golden.

omg I just made this martha stewart recepie for my roomates and they loved it, it was really good and healthy.  I made a few alterations.. I used whole wheat barilla pasta, cottage cheese instead of ricotta, non fat cheddar.. and I added sauted spinach, onions, green onions and bell pepper.  You could add any veggies you want really.  The butternut squash makes this so creamy and good for you!   enjoy :)

If you would like convenience too, Annie's makes single serving packets of macaroni and cheese. It's organic, 230 calories, 4.5 grams of fat (2.5 saturated).

Great alternative to Easy Mac.
