SNEAKY MAC 'N CHEESE
No one will guess there's a boost of extra nutrition from butternut squash and nonfat dry milk in this super-creamy crowd-pleaser. I found this recipe in Woman's World magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping.

SNEAKY (HEALTHY) MAC AND CHEESE
Picky eaters can be really tough to convince to eat veggies and other healthy foods. Perfect for those picky eaters; it has veggies masquerading as a cheese sauce! Just don't tell them, we'll keep it our little secret!! Cheaters Alley: If you can't find butternut squash frozen or just want to shave a few minutes off prep time, you can use canned pumpkin instead. It would be about 1 cup of pumpkin or squash, and you can skip the boiling with the milk and water. Adapted from www.girlmakesfood.com
