Quick Healthy Macaroni and Cheese
"Basically, all my daughter will eat right now is boxed macaroni and cheese. She gets the boxes out of our pantry almost every day and asks for it. The only vegetable she will eat right now is peas and I wanted to give her some variety. I haven't tried other vegetables yet, but I'm sure they would work."

I am a SAHM of a very picky 3 year old. The only things I can count on her eating are peanut butter sandwiches (no jelly, but sometimes honey), various fruits (grapes, blueberries, apples, bananas, mandarin oranges, watermelon), chicken nuggets (only the processed kind), macaroni and cheese, and a few veggies (various beans, corn and peas).
