I'm kind of a bean man myself. I bet substituting black beans would give the same protein as tofu without the heavy price tag and tricky ingredient.

This looks so good. Now the noodles have little friends they are usually so lonely.

That's so funny Katherine. What a great thing to say to your kids to get them to eat their vegetables.

Is there a brand of Mac n' Cheese you recommend that isn't super high in sodium? I know Kraft is loaded with it.
