Don't sleep on this healthier mac and cheese. It's total homemade goodness! I put it to the taste test with a 2 year old, 3 year old, my husband and a friend of mine. ALL reviews came back OVERWHELMINGLY positive.
The healthier aspect comes from using the sourdough starter instead of traditional, adding in 2 heaping scoops of collagen, and 2 egg yolks. I hope you love this recipe as much as my people did!
I love using raw milk! You can locate a dairy farmer near you using the realmilkfinder.com or you can get very low temp pasteurized at the health food store called Kalona, it's an orange bottle.
For the collagen, my all time favorite is Perfect Supplements. You can use THEGRACENOELLE for a discount at checkout.
This recipe is perfect for adding to your littles lunchbox for the school year!

Over the pan, shred the 6oz of cheese and stir until melted and all combined.
