This hidden veg mac & cheese bake is SO good 😍 creamy and cheesy with delicious crispiness plus 38g protein and a sneaky 2 of your 5 a day 🫱🏼🫲🏽 I said I’d put the recipe in the caption, but it’s too long to fit so I’ll pop the ingredients below but comment ‘recipe’ and I’ll send you the link to view the full recipe on my app for free 💌
