Ingredients

Easy Peasy Mac and Cheesy

3 Ingredient Easy Peasy Mac and Cheesy (I’m corny I know)

1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Elbow Macaroni

1 Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge (Your flavor choice)

2 Handfuls of Frozen Peas (Or any other frozen veggie you like)

The only real “cooking” is boiling the macaroni, the rest is just assembly pretty much. Put the peas in the pasta water with the macaroni towards the end of cooking (Save some water in case you want to thin out your sauce). After you drain the pasta and peas return to cooking pot and add wedge. I cut it up a little to make it go faster. Mix until fully melted. Season to taste (lots of pepper for me :)). Eat!

I love this. Just goes to show, one person’s ideal weight isn’t everyone’s ideal weight.

“Our fast “food” display is now 2 years old. The word food is questionable, since the bread-like and meat-like substances have not molded or spoiled in any way. Bugs won’t even bother with it. Please think twice about giving this to your kids. You have a choice, but they don’t. We truly are what we eat.” -LiveWell Wellness Center

Protein shake and grilled cheese sandwich is my lunch.

That’s all I’ve had so far today and I’ve already got 67% of my recommended protein for the day.

If you don’t like to eat vegetables because they’re hard to prepare try this:

Set a day of the week ahead of time and just slice up different veggies, put them into containers, and store them in the fridge. Now that they’re easy to grab you’ll be more likely to eat them!

In mine I have:

Spinach (leftover)

Mushrooms

Cucumbers

Yellow/green peppers

Shredded carrotts/parsnips (the stuff that looks like cheese)

I love doing this because it makes throwing together a salad, sandwhich, stir fry, anything…so much faster! There’s no more preparing, washing, slicing, nothing at all!

So try it out! You’ll most likely find yourself snacking on some cucmbers instead of chips :)
