Share this Recipe

This Cauliflower Mac And Cheese is comfort food at its very best. A healthy recipe takes on a classic Mac & Cheese that even the fussiest of the fussy will be happy to tuck into.

Don’t worry – we haven’t completely done away with the pasta (fussy eaters would be onto it pretty quickly). But we have added a healthy dose of veggies to ensure that it ticks the boxes for a nutritious meal.

This cauliflower mac and cheese recipe comes from the Fussy Kids eBook. Do you have a fussy eater at home? You’ll love The Healthy Mummy Fussy Kids eBook, available from our shop.
