I tried a second recipe from Country Living this week called Vegetable Mac n Cheese. The overall result tasted very similar to a restaurant macaroni and cheese. I wouldn't say that the vegetables make this dinner any healthier though. It also took a long time to make. Next time I will make it ahead of time and just cook it for the last 30 minutes on the day of dinner. I would also add more veggies and cut the cheese a little bit. Overall, good dinner.

Sheena - hope this helps out with your leftover noodles!
