How to eat vegetables and like them!

So, I went to the store the other day and if you know me, you know that one of my favorite foods is mac and cheese! I love it. My favorite is velvetta shells and cheese so of course that is the one that I grabbed! But then... I stopped. I saw a kraft box that said veggie pasta. I always heard good things about veggie pasta so I decided to give it a try. So, I put my favorite back and grabbed this healthier version.
It says that it has a 1/2 cup of veggies per cup! How could I go wrong with that. Well, it took me a couple of days to make it because we just don't keep milk here at our house anymore. It ends up going bad too fast so we don't buy it unless we specifically need it. So this morning I went to the store (hungry) and bought milk, along with other things!  :)  I came home and was ready to try it. I boiled the water, threw in the veggie pasta, drained the pasta, and mixed in the milk, butter, and cheese powder! The powder is the reason that I usually don't buy this kind. I made me a bowl of the veggie mac and cheese and OOOMMMGGG! It was really good. It tasted like normal mac and cheese. I couldn't believe that there could actually be veggies somewhere in there. Here is what the final outcome was.
It looks normal and sure does taste great! So, if you have a problem with getting your kids to eat their veggies, just tell them that they are having mac and cheese for lunch and problem solved. I hope this is a positive meal for your day! If you try it, let me know if you found it as delis as I did! Good luck my positive penguins!
