Create an easy and tasty Baked Peas and Kale Macaroni and Cheese that is loved by kids and adults alike!
Let me tell you a little story. A few years ago I started using the internet to help me with that dreaded question of what’s for dinner? Seriously I would type in the ingredients I would have in my kitchen and see what I could concoct.
That eventually lead me to find recipes on food blogs. Before then I didn’t even know what a food blog was. Once I started reading those food blogs and getting inspiration, I started taking pictures of all of my food.
After that I started sharing them with my family and friends. Then an idea came to my head. I said to myself that I could start a food blog and you know what? I did! And you are here looking at recipes that I have created with you in mind.
Being a busy mom of five kids, I need something easy to go on the table. I need something that will wow my family because I don’t want them to think food is boring. I want them to know that you can take an ingredient you have in your pantry or refrigerator and WOW them! Well Horizon Organic has created their MAC-N-ATOR to help you make dinner solutions even easier. Sounds cool, right? Basically you go to their site, plug in your ingredients and it will generate a mac & cheese recipe! I can’t wait to hear what you come up with! Then we can try each others recipes!
Today I’ve created this simple, easy, done in 30 minutes baked macaroni and cheese. I knew I was going to add peas into this dish but then I decided it would be awesome to add one more veggie. Sauteed kale was a win for this recipe for sure! Tell me, what kinds of veggies would you add to your macaroni and cheese? Find more recipes here on Horizon’s MAC-N-ATOR Pinterest Board!
