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 months. I would not recommend using formula, because in my experience it changes the consistency of recipes.
