Prevention RD is a new food blog I have been following lately. I really like this blog, as she contains the nutritional info for each recipe and it also seems like she tries to include a lot of veggies in the dinner entrees. I decided to make the Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese based on this amazing picture:
Seriously, how creamy does that cheese sauce look?! That’s exactly how I like my macaroni and cheese…the cheesier and creamier, the better!
Well I followed her recipe almost exactly…I changed the cheeses she used to include only sharp cheddar made with 2% milk. Maybe it was the change of the cheese, but this was not what I was expecting. I tasted too much squash and not enough cheese. Hubby liked it, though, and said he liked this version better compared to a sweet potato mac & cheese I made last year. I’m still not sure about this new version. I may need to decrease the amount of squash next time, but then doesn’t that defeat the purpose? I think I’ve given up on doing a “healthy” mac & cheese and have to just indulge once in a while and keep experimenting with non-veggie versions.
Here’s my version:
Yeah, definitely not as creamy. I would rate this a 6 out of 10…I’m willing to make it once more to see if the second time comes out better!
