Monday’s are hard, but dinner doesn’t have to be. The last thing I want to do on Monday night is make dinner…and I love cooking. Luckily Annie’s Homegrown makes this awesome macaroni and cheese that is all natural. I tend to add in lots of vegetables, top with a little extra cheese and whole wheat panko crumbs, and then broil it for 1-2 minutes. This is the perfect meatless Monday meal in under 15 minutes.
