Mac and Cheese w/Broccoli and Califlower!

I have a small daycare in my home so not only am I trying to prepare healthy meals for my family but also many other toddlers! My kids love Mac and Cheese, what kid doesn't! I started by putting pureed cauliflower in my Mac and Cheese, I think this idea originally came from watching Oprah a year or so ago, my kids loved it! I decided to take it a step further and added chunky broccoli to it as well. I add the broccoli before I even start boiling the noodles so it is extra soft and really takes in all the cheesy flavor! My pickiest eater even asked for seconds of this one!! His Mom and Dad said they tried at home to give him broccoli but it didn't work! I guess my Mac and Cheese has that special touch!

Do you have a recipe like this? Is there something you do to get your family to eat healthier and they don't even know it? My friend, Katie is having a contest on her blog and the price is "Deceptivly Delicious" by Jessica Seinfeld. If you have want to check out ideas for other contest entries or have an idea of your own to share then check out her blog http://busymomscookbook.blogspot.com/2008/10/my-first-give-away.html

Campbell's® 15-Minute Chicken and Rice Dinner

I found this on allrecipes.com, the reviews call it kind of bland but I think I will be able to spice it up!!

INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 1 (10.75 ounce) can Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup or Campbell's® Condensed 98% Fat Free Cream of Chicken Soup

1 1/2 cups water 1/4 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 cups uncooked instant white rice* 2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli flowerets

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Heat oil in skillet. Cook chicken 10 minutes or until browned. Remove chicken.
2.	Add soup, water, paprika and pepper. Heat to a boil.
3.	Stir in rice and broccoli. Return chicken to pan. Sprinkle additional paprika and pepper over chicken. Cover and cook on low heat 5 minutes or until chicken is done.

My additions -

Garlic salt, minced onion and canned mushrooms. I initially cooked the chicken a lot longer then 10 minutes...it was almost done before I moved onto step 2. It was really yummy!!
