Creamy mac and peas from 100 Days of Real Food: Fast & Fabulous: The Easy and Delicious Way to Cut Out Processed Food (page 209) by Lisa Leake

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This isn't particularly healthier, per se, than box mac and cheese. However, I really like that you can control what goes in it and that my daughter can help me cook it and see how to make the food she likes so much. I can throw in a bunch of peas and mix up the cheeses to expose her to tastes that are just new enough but overall still kid-ish enough for her to eat. (She is queen of the beige carbohydrates right now) Even if it's about the same amount of calories as fast food or whatever, this is setting her up for a better pattern of eating for the rest of her life. Which I guess is the entire purpose of this book, so the authors really accomplished their goal. It's not realistic for me to try to get her to eat salads etc, but hopefully I'm ever so slowly inching her over towards healthier choices. She liked the peas! And she enjoyed helping (we got her a chef hat to wear, which was a hit as well). I'm definitely not complaining. We'll probably make this pretty often.
