Preparation Notes

Macaroni and cheese may not be the most nutritious choice, but preparing it from scratch provides an opportunity to have fun and add value to an otherwise starchy meal. Select whole wheat pasta, use lowfat milk and cheese, and add some fresh chopped herbs or vegetables like parsley, broccoli, peas, zucchini, onions, and mushrooms.

Prepare the a shredded cabbage salad according to the recipe HERE.

Prepare the macaroni and cheese from scratch. Mollie Katzen's "Not-from-a-box Macaroni and Cheese" recipe from her Honest Pretzels Cookbook is one of our favorites.

Slice the banana.

Peel, cube, and steam the yam.

If you're cooking for kids, getting them involved in the kitchen will foster excitement for this great lunch.
