Kid-Friendly Paleo "Mac and Cheese"

Kid-Friendly Paleo

Kids love macaroni and cheese, and this recipe is a perfect mix of kid-friendly flavors and parent-approved nutrition. It's paleo, dairy free, and full of veggies! You can substitute the cauliflower for whatever noodles you like (rice noodles are a great option to keep it gluten free), add in bacon, peas, or diced tomatoes for a little extra pizzaz.
