Fun & Easy Mac Cheese Soup for Kids


One way we save money in our house is to pack our kids lunches rather than buying school lunches. We also do not have a hot lunch program at my children’s school.   So I thought I would share with you some recipes I find to spice up our children’s lunches! So each Friday, keep an eye for a new recipe for your kiddos lunchbox!

This weeks Friday Lunchbox Recipe:
