Variations on macaroni and cheese

Mac with tuna and veggies

Today's lunch was another variation on macaroni and cheese - this time with tuna and mixed veggies.  Macaroni and cheese has got to be one of the most fail-proof disguises for healthy foods like fish and vegetables.  Few things aren't delicious mixed in with cheesy, melty noodles.  For more versions of mac and cheese, click here, and don't hesitate to pump up the nutrition by using whole wheat noodles and adding extra fish and/or vegetables.  

About Jennifer

I am a registered dietitian with the National Fisheries Institute, so fish is my nutrition forte. I earned my BA in Communication from Southwestern University, just outside of Austin, TX. During college, one of my very favorite evening outings was a leisurely trip to the healthful food market. My passion for food was undeniable, so I combined both of my interests by earning my MS in Nutrition Communication from Tufts University in Boston, MA. As well as my Registered Dietitian (RD) credential through the University of Delaware.

Beyond reading scientific studies about docosahexaenoic acid and selenium, I love to entertain, travel, watch reality TV, grill outdoors, and go to spin class. I live in Washington, DC and am surrounded by a cast a characters you will get to know as you read my blog, including my fiancé (Lloyd), my cat (Miles), and my three sisters.
