A little while ago I decided to stop buying the good ol' blue box macaroni and cheese. It was hard. I mean, what would I ever fix my kids for lunch? :) (Plus, I admit that I really love it too. Don't tell anyone.) So I went on a search for an easy, yummy, un-processed, healthier version of macaroni and cheese and found it on the Heavenly Homemaker's blog. My kids devoured it and I think they will finally stop asking for the "orange" macaroni and cheese. This isn't SUPER healthy or anything, but it's definitely a better alternative to the blue box, and it's pretty fast and easy.
Creamy Mac 'n Cheese
2 cups uncooked whole wheat pasta (elbow macaroni cooks the fastest- you could also use spiral, penne, etc.)
3 c. milk
1/2 t. salt
1 c. shredded cheese
Mix pasta, milk, and salt (I also added a little pepper) in a large saucepan. Cook on medium-high heat STIRRING ALMOST CONSTANTLY until pasta is tender, about 10-15 min. (If the milk turns all creamy before the pasta is completely cooked, add more milk). Remove from heat. Add cheese and stir until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

I make something similar and we love it! I will have to try this one though because I bet it tastes better (it has more milk).
YUm, I will have to try this too!
