Mac ‘n Cheese
Kids and adults enjoy this classic…and it’s not hard to understand why—carby noodles immersed in gooey, melty cheese is basically a dream come true. I’ve experimented with a variety of different spins, but my Sweet Potato Mac and Cheese is one of the easiest ways to upgrade the dish.
All you have to do is toss roasted sweet potato cubes into your simmering pot of mac and cheese (any Mac n’ Cheese recipe will work). In addition to adding volume, the veggie brings creamy texture, natural sweetness as well as fiber, potassium and beta-carotene. If you have a picky eater in your house, you can puree the sweet potatoes and add to the cheese sauce. Sneaky, but works like a charm!
