This dinner takes about 15 minutes from start to finish, but the hands-on time is only about five minutes total. It doesn't sound all that special but for some reason it just really seems to hit the spot for everyone in my family. Thanks to Aya for this yummy recipe!
1 box of Annie's Deluxe Rotini with White Cheddar
1 bag of frozen mixed veggies
1 small handful of shredded cheese (any kind)
Any kind of all-purpose seasoning that you like
Prepare the macaroni and cheese according to the package directions. Meanwhile, cook the frozen veggies until they are warm but still crispy. Add the bag of veggies to the macaroni, throwing in the extra cheese, too. Mix until combined, and sprinkle with seasoning salt. Delish!!
Cheese and veggies were a match made in heaven. We love easy meals! More time for fun. :) By the way, I saw Bella Fleck on your list of music. Did you know that I hung out with his band a few times? You should check out his bassist Victor Wooten. "A Show of Hands" is a great disc.

Sorry to post twice, but I just read another good idea for mac and cheese. They say you can substitute yogurt for milk. You know me, always looking for a way to sneak a litle healthy love into my food. :)

What a great idea- CJ would absolutely love this. We tried the peanut butter ramen noodle recipe last week, and it was really, really good. Definitely a keeper! :o)

Yum.......anything with macaroni and cheese sounds great to me! Well,maybe not mushrooms or anchovies.......
Glad to hear the five minute/five dollar ideas are still coming!
Love, Hugs, and Cheesey Pasta Kisses for Ivo,
