Baby's 1st Mac 'N Cheese

This was an emotional lunch for me, because I couldn't believe my little boy was eating Mac 'N Cheese already!  He loved this simple take on a classic and I think we'll be making a lot more of it in the future.  You can half or double this recipe as you please - this amount should yield about 3 lunches.

Mac 'N Cheese (8 months +)

1/2 cup elbow macaroni 
2 Tbsp finely grated cheese
2 Tbsp cottage cheese
2 Tbsp milk*
Sprinkle of wheat germ

Cook and drain pasta, then combine with cheese, cottage cheese, and milk in a saucepan.  Heat on stove top until cheese melts.  Sprinkle wheat germ on top and serve!

*Breast milk for babies of all ages, cow's milk for babies 12 months+, or rice milk for babies 8-12 monthsI would not recommend using formula, because in my experience it changes the consistency of recipes.
