The purpose of making this fun intertaining food is to get children to eat macaroni and cheese. Today, I learned how to make  a fun but good meal for children. My group functioned effectively and I did a good job with my group. The dish was good, but the macaroni was sticky. To make this food better I would have added something that was more nutritional. I was the person that helped the chef with whatever needed to be done. I gave the food an 100.
