Dino's & Cheese is a fun and nourishing kid-friendly meal from Cece's Veggie Co. that offers a healthier take on macaroni and cheese. Rather than being made with a base of pasta, the dish takes shape from pieces of dinosaur-shaped white sweet potatoes. In terms of taste, white sweet potato is said to be milder in taste than an orange sweet potato, which has the potential to please even the pickiest of eaters. The dino-shaped pieces are paired with a cheddar cheese sauce as an exciting way for kids to get more vegetables in their diet.
As well as making this better-for-you take on macaroni and cheese for kids, Cece's Veggie Co. recently released a Cauli & Cheese bowl for adults with a similar premise.
