One of the fast simple dinners we have around here is also, believe it or not, healthy. I don't claim to be a genius in any way, but if you choose to think I'm smart...I won't stop you. One box of organic mac and cheese. On sale 1$. Yup. To make it low fat I add 1/2 cup Homemade cottage cheese instead of butter and milk. It gets all gooey. Who can even deny the beauty of it?
Another very low fat alternative is to use 1/2 cup of fat free sour cream or Homemade Cream Cheese instead of the milk and butter. It's a great way to cut calories and still feel like you're having a good indulgent mac-n-cheese night.Baked apple crisp for dessert and we had a feast.
There you go.

That looks yum-o! I'll have to try that next time I whip up a box! I tend to use only 1tsp of butter with the 1%milk and my kids haven't even noticed a change! I like the creaminess of the ingredients you've used, though!
we have been going through that ranch salad dressing at what would be a horrifying rate if it were full fat. I can actually put that on my table and not feel guilty now. A bottle of Hidden Valley always made me feel like I was poisoning my family with fat and empty calories. (not to mention preservatives.)
two words. LOVE IT! Wait, two more words: YOU'RE BRILLIANT. That's really three words, but I'm not the genius here :)
