Healthy Stovetop Mac and Cheese – This healthy mac and cheese is quick and easy. Stove top mac n’ cheese made with Greek yogurt.
My son didn’t have school on Monday, so my week is completely thrown off. I can not believe that today is Wednesday. I am starting to freak out, knowing that Easter is only 5 days away, and I have nothing ready. Aside from knowing we are having ham for dinner. My in-laws arrive tomorrow, so I really better get my butt in gear. Meals to plan for the rest of the weekend, Easter basket to stock, house to clean, and shopping to get done. Going to be a busy day!
A quick and easy dinner is going to be on the menu today. This healthy stovetop mac and cheese is perfect. In the time it takes to boil the pasta, you are ready to eat. It is made creamy with Greek yogurt, so their is added protein to bump up the health factor. I used whole wheat pasta as well, so it really is pretty minimal on the guilt for a mac and cheese dinner.
I added a little bacon to this, because I had a few slices that needed to get used up. But you can really add whatever you want to this. Peas, broccoli, sausage, chicken, or just leave it plain. No matter what you do the, the whole family will be very happy with dinner. Gotta love a stove top mach and cheese, like this Panera Copycat Macaroni and Cheese as well.
I am one of the resident Easy Dinner fanatics over at Food Fanatic. This quick and easy mac and cheese is the latest I am sharing over there. If you missed any of the other recipes, you can check them all out here. There is even a fun giveaway going on from the Creamy Spring Gnocchi recipe I shared last week at Food Fanatic.

April 17, 2014 at 1:51 pmYum! My mom used to make boxed mac n cheese with yogurt. The tang is a good contrast to the heaviness of cheese
