Being somewhat addicted to Macaroni and Cheese - a cheat mean, a treat meal, a food that I cannot say "no" to... I decided I needed a healthier version, hopefully a little lighter on the calories, but definitely more wholesome and amp'ed up nutrition. After reviewing a few recipes, I used a Cooking Light Recipe as an inspiration (see link: www.cookinglight.com/eating-smart/recipe-makeovers/light-macaroni-cheese) and tweaked it to my own liking.
