Green Macaroni Cheese...a great one for kids

As a parent it's our job to ensure that our kids get a good varied diet with plenty of fruit and veg and I've luckily been blessed with a child that will eat practically anything that's put in front of him but I also understand this isn't always the case and I know many mums that try and find ways of adding veg to the meals without them knowing and this recipe is a pretty good one, providing lots of leafy green veg in a kids favourite...it got devoured by my son haha :))

Green Macaroni Cheese

Macaroni
Cheese sauce
2 handfuls of spinach leaves
Peas
Broccoli

Cook the macaroni as per the packet instructions

Place the spinach leaves into a food processor and blitz (if you wanted you can add broccoli by cooking it and adding it to the food processor as well)

Make up your cheese sauce and add the spinach leaves (and broccoli if using) 

Pour the macaroni into a heat proof bowl and add the cheese sauce and mix together. Place in the oven at 180/170 fan for around 10-15 minutes until bubbling and golden 

Cook your peas and stir them into the green macaroni cheese and serve :))
