In our house Gluten Free macaroni and cheese is part of dinner at least twice a week. We have found the kids will eat their meat and veggies as long as their plate also has mac n cheese. So I was excited to hear that Horizon Organic has just come out with an Organic Gluten Free Macaroni and White Cheese!
Cooking is a family affair in house, both by intention and default. We want our kids to learn how to cook, cooking techniques and kitchen safety. The default part comes in with three young kids in the house, someone always wants to “help” make dinner.
On a number of occasions we have created a Macaroni and Cheese Bar for dinner to make the cooking and eating process more fun. What we do is prepare a box or two of the Gluten Free macaroni according to the directions on the box. While this is cooking the kids get to help prepare the toppings for the macaroni. We place all the toppings in different bowls. Everyone will get a bowl of the Gluten Free macaroni then top it with tons of the fun toppings. The end result is a colorful and tasty dinner that has been customized by each kid. This is also a fun way to get them to eat vegetables.
Here are some fun toppings we use:
– hot dogs
– bacon
– extra cheese
– avocado
– pepperoni
– salsa
– tomatoes
– peas
– broccoli
These Macaroni and Cheese Bars are also great for children’s birthday parties!

Have fun with dinner and let your kids play a role!
Enjoy!
