I got this recipe from Topsecretrecipes.com and it's supposed to be Cracker Barrel's Macroni & Cheese, not sure about that, but it sure is good! Not what you'd call low fat though. I added this for my own tracking, and I thought I'd share it.

Add a LITTLE extra flavor to your veggies by pan frying up some turkey bacon while you steam your veggies until they are ALMOST DONE. Then add them to the pan with bacon and stir. The flavor of the bacon permeates the veggies. This IS tastier with real bacon as the flavor is stronger, but healthier with the turkey bacon.

I love mayo on sandwiches and creamy dressings on salads, but they're just too many calories! This yogurt dressing has the taste of a honey mustard dressing with a fraction of the calories and fat. Plus, it's easy to make in just a few minutes. I like to make a batch on Sunday night and use it on lunches throughout the week.

I find this a really filling meal, the goat cheese I use has a bit less fat then the one in the recipe. You can substitute a Low Fat Goat Cheese if you want to bring down the fat content more.

Also, you can substitute fresh beets, I use the canned kind when I don't feel like peeling beets.

You can also add potatoes, zucchini, carrots, or any of your other favourite veggies!
