Review: Macaroni and Cheese Lite (Moosewood)

I didn't get a picture of this one, but this was a clear winner to me!
This macaroni and cheese is full of veggies.  When you first read the recipe, you start to think that it is just going to taste..odd.  Who puts cabbage in macaroni and cheese?  MOOSEWOOD does!  And it was GOOD!

The vegetables were mushrooms, cabbage, spinach, onion and garlic.  It also had cottage cheese and sunflower seeds.

Doesn't sound like your every day mac and cheese huh?

The flavors were very bold and I couldn't stop eating it.  We love different versions of macaroni and cheese around here--and this is definitely another one to be repeated and added to the rotation!
