Chuck made a comment last week about being depressed because Nicky can’t have real macaroni and cheese like normal kids, so I became determined to find something that we could all enjoy together instead. I tried this recipe tonight with a couple of substitutions: we couldn’t find nutritional yeast at the store (which was supposed to give the cheesy flavor), so we used a block of soy mozzarella cheese instead and we didn’t plain soy milk, so we used my light vanilla.
I really enjoyed it! Chuck said he liked it a lot, and Nicky took two bites and decided that he didn’t like it, which isn’t unusual for him lately. Sometimes, he’ll eat half of a meal and spit out a bite and say he doesn’t like it. Sometimes, he doesn’t want things that he always loves, so it’s weird lately because he’s usually such a great eater. If nothing else, he always eats a good breakfast, at least one or two bowls of cereal and a banana.
Anyway, I plan to make this mac ‘n cheese again, maybe with a variation next time to try something different. It’s always interesting to try something old with a new twist!
