Trial Tuesdays

Delish and Mostly Healthy Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese (with Bacon and Apples)

I won't lie, I pin almost everything that has "Bacon" in the title, but we're always on the look out for healthy, easy to make recipes and this fit the bill so we gave it a try. 

The original recipe is from Pinch of Yum - Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese with Caramelized Onions, Bacon and Apple. 

Oh my goodness! It is SO good! I try a lot of Pinterest recipes and some of them are TERRIBLE but not this one, it's amazing! Apples - good, Bacon - good, Cheese- good!

Here is the adapted recipe for my picky eater - aka my husband. We also double the recipe for healthy lunches during the week.

*The Rotini holds the sauce so much better than the elbows!
**We couldn't find canned butternut squash, so we use the boxed soup. It works.
***We omit the onions for my picky eater, along with the butter and salt. It's plenty salty.

ENJOY!! It tastes like fall and it's so incredibly good, you'd never know its slightly good for you. This trial was definitely a win.
