Colorful Macaroni Casserole

Elbow macaroni, ham, peppers, corn and tomatoes… this was definitely something for the children. I had three here eating this, my two own and my god daughter and they ate big time, all of them took seconds and said they want me to cook this again as soon as possible. It is really nice to see children eating what is on their plate without picking out the bits they find suspicious. Sometimes they find most of what is on the plate suspicious and that can really annoy a mother. But not this time! 🙂 🙂

But it was not only something for the children, the adults all enjoyed this as well.
