Low Fat Macaroni Cheese


If you read this blog regularly, you will know that while I like my sweets, I try to keep my meals healthy.  This led me to search for a low fat recipe for macaroni cheese as a side to serve with dinner while my mother was staying with me.

I found this recipe for low fat macaroni cheese on Taste.com.  The recipe calls for bacon and parsley, which I left out, but I otherwise followed the recipe.  It was quick and easy to make, and sliced easily into convenient squares for serving.

This macaroni cheese was pretty good, but lacked a little oomph flavour wise.  Perhaps a sharper cheese or a dash of chilli or paprika would remedy this.  However, I would make this again.

Hey Cakelaw! Have you tried adding pureed pumpkin to your mac and cheese? It's creamy and adds more vegetables to it too! :D

nice idea for a side dish - I sometimes add a bit of mustard or mustard powder for extra flavour too when making cheese sauce

Sounds like a great idea.

Ooh, that would be good too - or curry powder.

Sounds like a great mac and cheese recipe. I'd spice it up a little too. ☺

Ellie Krieger has a Mac and cheese with squash. America's test kitchen has comfort food make overs which includes Mac and cheese. That recipe has dry mustard and pinch of cayenne. I feel like making Mac and cheese😀
