Monday: Sloppy Joes (Recipe)

Recipe: 20 Minute Gluten Free Mac 'N' Cheese

Macaroni and cheese seems to be one of those mysterious dishes that everyone loves but no one has a clue how to make. Most recipes I've come across have a list of ingredients so long that the average cook would be intimidated to try them. I do have a mac 'n' cheese recipe that involves a few different types of cheese, breadcrumbs, and an oven, but the truth is that I barely make it because it's too time consuming.
When my son asked why he can't have the macaroni that his friends at daycare got to eat, I knew it was time to come up with a version that he could enjoy. I sometimes forget how difficult it must be for such a little boy to be left out of eating the same things as his friends since he handles it so well most of the time. The excitement on his face when he said it looked just like his friends' macaroni and cheese reminded me of how important it for him to feel included as much as possible.
