This afternoon I decided I wanted Mac and Cheese with vegetables for dinner - but we want a lighter version than the traditional. I have all my ingredients at the ready - then latest Culinate popped up on my screen. I will use less cheese, 2% milk, brown rice pasta and less crumb - but the recipe reads great. Thanks!

Breakfast: Irish oatmeal 1 c (cooked) with 2T local maple syrup and about the same in 2% milk; one cup of half decaf/half caf. coffee with a dribble of 2% milk.
Homemade (meatless) bean chili using kidney beans and home grown tomatoes. 1 Buckwheat-corn pancake cooked in light olive oil. Snack: 1/2 c dried apple slices. Perk me up: 1 c espresso. Dinner: a blend of quinoa and brown rice, with 1/4 dried currents and 1/4 c salted pepitas. Pan seared trout fillet, roasted broccoli tossed in fresh pressed olive oil and sea salt. Fresh sliced pears for dessert.
