Mac-n-Cheese made with Tofu
Moms know that kids’ lunch boxes need to be packed with yummy and interesting foods to avoid the temptation of greasy cafeteria pizza! A great way to make kids the food they love and introduce their young palates to organic and gluten-free foods is to serve them tofu. As versatile as sour cream, mayonnaise, or cream cheese, tofu adds a healthier component to many favorite recipes.
No kids can resist is a bowl of macaroni and cheese! House Foods has created the Tofu Mac’ n Cheese by adding their creamy tofu to this kid staple.
