I came up with this recipe for real, homemade mac & cheese that your kids are going to love. In fact, when I sent this recipe out in my menu mailer, one of my subscribers said that her son came in after dinner and said it was the “Best mac & cheese ever!”

Eggs are one of the most economical ways to increase the nutrients in your family’s diet. Eggs are full of vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin E, omega 3 fatty acids, beta carotene, cholesterol (which is good for you), and saturated fat (also good for you). Why Pastured Eggs?
