Happy Monday Friends!!!!
Today I am coming at you with one AMAZING macaroni and cheese recipe along with some of our favorite products as of late!! Jax has been going through a major growth spurt as well as cutting six teeth so a lot of our products are food and teething related!!!
I absolutely LOVE to cook for Jax.. not every mom loves to cook and thats OK! It can be time consuming and you have to pre plan and grocery shop and when you have three or four littles racing around your heels sometimes you want to throw your hands up in the air, give your kid a fruit pouch, and suck down a glass of wine. I totally get it.
I try and post easy and not so meticulous recipes for baby so that even the busiest of mamas can find the time to whip up just something special for baby.
**For my Maccaroni Recipe you can get a little crazy and add in some veggies ( broccoli and spinach were a hit!!) even some chicken would be wonderful to add a little protein.
To start I will post the most amazing and flavorful macaroni for baby!!!! Here ya go!
Homeade Organic Maccaroni and Cheese
Shopping List
10 cups water
1/2 pound whole wheat macaroni - I used shells
6 tabelspoons unsalted butter
3 cups 2 % organic milk - I used whole milk and it was super creamy!!!
1 cup grated sharp organic cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated sharp organic cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated colby cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Procedure
In a large pot, boil about 10 cups of water ( just cover the macaroni)
and cook until tender
Next, in a large saucepan over medium heat, melt unsalted butter, add flour, and continue stirring until the mixture thickens. Add organic milk and continue to stir until this thickens up. Remove from heat and add cheeses and the salt and pepper. Pour the cheesy mixture into your drained pasta.. mix well and season to taste if needed.
Serve to your sweet baby..and yourself!!!
Delicious!!!
Next Up!! I want to talk favorite products!!!!!
1. My favorite cookbook for baby can be bought HERE
I know that most of us moms can get in a cooking rut for ourselves.. and then really in a rut when it comes to cooking for baby. I know that I have pureed avocado and banana 340298342 times and finally J was just done with it. I am constantly creating yummy baby foods to make for him but this book helps give you a little bit of a creative boost!!! It has a great older baby section that could be so useful during meal prepping ( before a new baby arrives) or just having healthful and organic snacks on hand for your baby to eat. My goal is for Jax to eat healthy and to learn habits that are good for him. This book is so great for that!!!!
2. THESE BIBS are a must if you are letting your child learn to self feed. High chairs can get downright gross!!! This is a catch all bib that is easy to clean, dishwasher safe, and comfy for baby to wear while eating. We love ours!
3. The teething monster has hit our house and hit us HARD!! Jax is cutting SIX teeth. Four uppers and two bottoms and his poor mouth is in constant pain!! In addition to rotating tylenol and motrin I apply Punkin Butt oil SHOP HERE
It is an all natural, safe, teething oil that can be applied throughout the day. I find that it takes the edge off of his sore little gums and helps him relax a little bit better.
4. Home made Applesauce pops..
use my “ Jax’s favorite applesauce recipe” found HERE
and then pour the applesauce into the Nuby Popsicle Mold for some yummy and good teething pops!!
Those are a few of our faves!!!
