My kids are macaroni and cheese snobs. It started years ago – at least 9 years ago when I first introduced my son to my homemade macaroni and cheese. I tried to give him mac and cheese out of the box, and he just. wouldn’t. eat. it. This month, I introduced my kids to GOODLES – a healthier version of boxed macaroni and cheese – and their reactions were better than I had anticipated.

My son ate seconds of the Twist My Parm GOODLES. He never asks for seconds of dinner. And my daughter devoured hers, as well, the first time I served it with dinner.

And that’s what gets us out of fighting over meals. My kids don’t LOVE certain meals I prefer to serve – like anything with meat. My son went through a phase of not eating any meat, and my daughter is currently fighting this battle. This is usually okay with me because they’re eating vegetables and fruit and other protein. But I like to give them something they’ll enjoy at dinner, and avoid a fight whenever possible.

The night I tried GOODLES for the first time, I paired it with a ranch pork chop recipe. It’s a slow cooker recipe, so dinner really took me about 15 minutes to prepare, and the GOODLES mac and cheese was the first thing cleared from the kids’ plates.

My daughter preferred the Cheddy Mac GOODLES. She loves all of them, but I believe the Cheddy Mac has been her favorite – and she ate it three nights in a row. No shame in our leftovers game! The Cheddy Mac is your standard cheddar cheese flavor of the mac and cheese, but it’s healthier than your traditional boxed macaroni and cheese.

Why GOODLES?

GOODLES mac and cheese has 14 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber per serving. It contains real cheese and it’s packed with nutrients from organic plants.

Let that sink in. So much protein and fiber from mac and cheese! And it didn’t take me an hour or longer to make! It doesn’t contain GMOs, artificial colors, artificial flavors or preservatives. Another win!

The downside? It’s only available through their website right now (but I can save you 25% off your order! Which is awesome!)
