There are those days when, for the life of you, you just can’t think of something quick, wholesome and yummy that picky kids will love…that’s when Mac ‘n’ Cheese ‘n’ Chicken come into the picture.
Twice a week, a friend’s kids come over after school for about an hour or so till their Mommy finishes with her University classes. I love having the kids over but am never excited about preparing lunch for them as they’re ever so picky. Thankfully this dish worked and it looks like this will be the staple when they stay for lunch!!

Sadly I am not much of a cook. We had run late tonight and so pancakes are my standby quick meal as I know no one in the house will complain!
