Howdy, parents! We have a challenge for you and it’s happening this week only! What you need to do: Have dinner together as a family. Make a healthy recipe and include everyone in the cooking.

Then, all you have to do is comment back with a photo of the meal or your family enjoying it. We’ll pick winners for a free month membership to EmmasChildren.com Premium Content!!

Try Emma’s ‘Healthy Kids Day’ recipe for Green Mac & Cheese and win our Tumblr contest… Yum!

You’ll Need:

1 box whole wheat pasta elbows

1 bag baby spinach or 1 package frozen spinach

1 tbs. butter
3 tbs. flour

1 and 1/2 cups milk

3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Easy Peasey!

  Option 1: Drizzle a little olive oil into a sauté pan. Add your spinach and wait for it to shrink and become soft. Put the wilted spinach into your food processor & puree!

  Option 2: Defrost frozen spinach (be sure to squeeze moisture out) and put right in your food processor

  Spinach should be smooth

  Make pasta according to package

  Get a pan and melt your butter. Add flour over medium heat. Whisk while slowly adding milk – it should be bubbling slowly

 Get your shredded cheese and stir that in until melty

  Add your pureed spinach

  Mix the drained pasta to the sauce and stir to coat pasta.

ENJOY!
