Mac And Cheese For Lunch

Here’s another easy and quick to whip up lunch for my girls – San Remo mac and cheese (MSG-free) with broiled organic french beans and free-range scrambled eggs. It’s a no-fuss and no-fret lunch for the girls. Sometimes I use broccoli and sometimes I add in some fresh mushrooms. Milk and butter are added to the San Remo mac and cheese to give it a creamier taste and texture. I normally cook extra and deep freeze half a portion for another day’s lunch. While the girls wallop the mac and cheese, I will only eat the eggs and french beans. That’s not enough to fill me up, so I normally get my portion of carbs from wholemeal crackers, wholemeal bread or yoghurt with nuts. As I age, I find that I cannot tolerate heavy meals anymore. I feel better when I am about 70% full, physically and mentally (guilt-free)!

    You have no idea how many kids and college students live on mac and cheese!! We have a brand here from Kraft and it is called Kraft Dinner or “KD”. Even as grown-ups it is a comfort food. Best served with cut up hotdogs and ketchup! I didn’t say it was healthy! When I was living in HK, I had my Canadian friend bring me a few boxes as I missed them so much!!

    Chris, home cooked ones are healthier and they are easy to prepare. I find whipping cream a very important ingredient to make creamy & tasty pastas. This time, i prepared San Remo as Alycia requested for it. I dont find it healthy too – it’s too salty for kids, so I add more water to dilute the saltiness. Cut up hotdogs with mac & cheese sounds good, esp. for kids. Eating them once in a while is A OK!
