Рецепт Macaroni and Cheese with Turkey Bacon
Macaroni and cheese is a popular dish, and let me add, it is the favorite of many. The real macaroni and cheese is made at home and will never come in a box!
When you are on a journey to lose weight, the craving for desserts, fried food, and junk food will come your way no matter what you do. Macaroni and cheese is a dish that usually high in fat and because of the cheese, it tends to be salty too.
My version is light and is easy on the salt. So you’ll enjoy your favorite dish with out feeling guilty. When you are trying to lose weight and eat right, your intake of vegetables and fruit should increase, remember you don’t just need to satisfy your cravings and fill your tummy. Your body needs so many nutrients to function properly.
If you decided to have Macaroni and Cheese or any other main meal from my blog, try to have salad on the side, or have a fruit as a dessert.
