HA HA! That was carrot puree in your mac & cheese, little miss!
I figured I would test this out myself. I had some carrots on hand and thought hmmmmm  maybe carrots would work instead of butternut squash. Well, it did work! I steamed & pureed the carrots and added them to the cheese packet in a separate container. the mixed the carrot/cheese mixture into the pasta.
Gracie ate it up!   In fact, she loved it. She kept saying "YUMMMMMMMMM" after every bite. I had to try it myself and it was really yummy, to my surprise.
I am now a deceptively delicious / sneaky chef believer!

I admit it was pretty good and you really could not taste the carrot in it. In fact, it made the cheese sauce creamier. if you use a 1/2 cup of pureed carrots (about a half bag of the baby carrots) per box, then you really cannot taste it. I hope it works for your 10yr old.

I really don't have a veggie issue with DS.
Does it work with DHs?

Great idea! Glad she liked it!!
I think this whole 'hiding veggies' thing is such a good idea, even if kids/you/hubby like veggies. You can't get too many veggies, you know? I love veggies, but I'm going to start doing this even to our food so we get even more veggies!
