Childhood favorites

mac-n-cheese

Today my lunch was a combo of two childhood comfort foods mac-n-cheese and tuna fish. (And spinach, which I suppose most would not consider a childhood favorite, though thanks to my mom, I actually do). I ate my macaroni creation hot, but this would also be tasty at room temperature in a lunch box. I dont have children of my own, but get the impression new and pleasing lunch ideas are hard to come by. One of my favorite resources for kid-friendly fare is the Meal Makeover Moms website. The moms, Janice and Liz, are both RDs who have a knack for making family favorites healthier. They also have a weekly radio podcast packed with mealtime tips.
