This ones great if you want to get your kids to eat whole grains. I got this recipe from parenting magazine. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
1 cup wheat flakes cereal (or total cereal, whole grain cereal flakesl) |
1/4 cup unsweetened wheat germ |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
6 ounces macaroni and cheese mix |
1/4-1/2 cup white puree |
1/2 cup orange puree |
2 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat casserole dish with cooking spray. Put cereal in zip-close bag and crush to coarse crumbs. Pour crumbs in a bowl and mix in wheat germ and parmesan.
2. Prepare macaroni and cheese according to package directions, adding White Puree, Orange Puree, or both (use no more than 1/2 cup puree total per 6-oz box of macaroni and cheese). Transfer to casserole dish, sprinkle with crunchy topping, and dot with butter. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until topping is golden.
