Easy Mac vs Kraft Dinner Mac n Cheese

Just so you all don't think I'm crazy: all of my posts about Easy Mac are about the portable single serve cups, called Easy Mac! :)

Totally different from KD's Mac n Cheese and I completely agree, not as good, but in a pinch it fills the desire beautifully when at work!

Probably the stupidest post I've ever written [super glad the stars are gone, zero], but I wanted to clarify . . . because I have a feeling there are sure to be more Easy Mac posts.

  • If anyone doesn't mind buying like 8 different things of expensive cheese, Bobby Flay has an AMAZING mac and cheese recipe in his throwdown cookbook, but it makes a ton (too much for DH and I) and requires a lot of different expensive cheeses.

    No worries! I don't think you were the only one!

    They actually have a Velveeta Shells and Cheese cup too, I got one to try because it's actually less fat than the Easy Mac. Just saying . . . you could do it too! :)

  • I had the day off yesterday so (of course) I thought of what to make for dinner pretty much the entire day.  But the only thing on God's Green Earth that sounded good to me was macaroni and cheese.  I like the little blue boxes of Kraft called "Three Cheese."  It's my 90 cent piece of heaven.

    I love Bobby Flay too.  I think he is SOOOOO stinking adorable.  And he's a good cook, too I guess ;)

  • In real life I used to enjoy recommendations about wine or restaurants, but now I appreciate a good discussion of what's the superior box of macaroni and cheese.  I'm a velveeta shells and cheese girl myself.  This is my kind of conversation.

    Whew! Glad you chose that option! You missed the part about being less fat than the Easy Mac! :) This is a GREAT thing.

  • I like Velveeta Shells and Cheese or Aunt Annie's Mac-n-cheese.  Easy Mac just doesn't do it for me.  I love Panera's too!

  • I love the velveeta shells in the little bowl too. They are SO good and easy to make at work. I also love that this thread is way longer than most of the others I've read tonight. Mac and cheese is serious stuff.

  • This thread is fantastic!  On one of those days where morning sickness is all-day sickness, my roommate was making Trader Joe's white cheddar mac n' cheese, which I've had before and hated.  However, the smell was enticing, so I tried some and I could have eaten the entire box!  So, TJ's for the win.
  • Ok, I think our "official" meal of the July 2011 board is...

    :::drumroll:::

    Some sort of mac and cheese and a bagel and cheese :)

     

    It will be fun to see how our favorite foods change over the next months.

  • We brought 12 boxes of KD mac and cheese with us and DH's Japanese coordinator is here this week and he brought us 15 more boxes.  A tad extreme since we're only here for another 5 weeks, but I'll take it. I just had some for breakfast because I forgot to get eggs last week at the grocery. Mmmmmm!
