Welcome Back:
Today, I enjoy, yellow squash, mac and cheese with 4oz roast beef.
Yes, mac and cheese is usually loaded with calories, that’s why I chose to eat only 1/2 cup.
Some tips for choosing Macaroni and Cheese:
1. Always use 1/2 the amount of cheddar cheese recommended on label and add more spices and herbs
2. Use unsweetened nut milks, to reduce total calories
3. I like Neufchâtel cheese, which is fewer in calories (if usually use cream cheese)
4. If you want add broccoli florets (to decrease total calories) or any other veggie you may like
5. I used chickpeas pasta, which is high protein, high fiber pasta, instead of plain macaroni, that will increase the fiber and total protein
6. And as I always say, ‘Moderation is key “
Macaroni and Cheese recipe used:
1. 12 ounces of chickpea pasta elbow,dry
2. 2 TBS of butter
3. 1 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk or unsweetened milk of choice
4. 1 1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth
5. Salt to taste
6. 1 cup of you favorite cheddar cheese
7. 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch
This recipe makes about 6, 1 cup serving. Each 1 cup serving provides:
314 calories
19 grams protein
8 grams Fiber
583 mg Sodium
However, I decided to serve my self 1/2 cup: 157 calories
10 grams protein
4 grams Fiber
293 mg Sodium
