I was super hungry after class tonight, so with little patience and few ingredients in the kitchen (tomorrow’s shopping day), I decided on The Purple Box (Annie’s). I can’t eat macaroni & cheese without frozen peas. I told you, I need color!
Pasta:
- 1 Box Annie’s Shells & White Cheddar
- 1/3 cup frozen peas
- real butter – about 1 T
- fresh ground pepper
Veggie Parfait:
- 4-6 cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 avocado
- cucumber
- seasoned rice vinegar & fresh ground pepper
Dinner was ready in under 10 minutes – so easy. I know mac & cheese isn’t typically the most healthful or gourmet dinner…but I wanted to show you my healthier version, and that you can add color to almost anything.
I think there may be some dessert in my near future…

i always add peas to my annie’s mac and cheese… they make a gluten-free version, much to my delight! adding real wisconsin cheddar and baking for a smidge is a real crowd-pleaser as well :) nice post!
