Mac & Cheese

Why is a box 2.5 servings when the whole thing fits in my bowl?


Veronica

Because you're not supposed to eat it all at once? Or because you're not a kid?

I used to add some broccoli to the box mix. Broccoli with cheese sauce is good, right?? Made the servings go further, and I got some vegies too. ;)

It's a shame, but I really don't like broccoli.

That is a shame - broccoli rocks! Though, I hate it with cheese sauce so I'm weird.

I actually really LOVE putting frozen or canned corn in my mac and cheese. It makes it look like barf, but it tastes amazing and it extends the servings as well. Comfort food though - not health food. :p

I LOVE corn - especially fresh corn on the cob, dripping with butter and some salt...

My trainer calls corn a useless vegetable. I don't eat it so much anymore.

BTW - well all the mac & cheese would fit in my bowl, it would not fit in my tummy. :rolleyes:

Sadly I probably could eat the full 2.5 servings!

I like to put in broccoli and ham

Funny. My daughter does the same thing!

my mom used to make macaroni au gratin (I guess an oolala fancy way of saying mac and cheese) with corn and ham. I use frozen corn (and peas!) in a lot of my dishes, it adds that hint of sweetness.

Lately I make mine with soy milk. I would never serve it to anyone as I don't put nearly enough cheese, but it's nice and yummy to me.

X2!!! Infact, it wasn't too long ago that I would REGULARLY eat a full box of Kraft Mac N Cheese, as a meal...:eek: I have NO DOUBT that I couldn't put down 2.5 servings, right this very minute...but I would feel too guilty about it these days. :o

Ah ha! I knew I liked that girl...she has great taste! :D

I make mac & cheese with ham. The recipe is supposed to have peas as well, but I hate peas.

And oh, corn on the cob. I couldn't eat it for about six years because of braces. Or, so my orthodontist said. ;)

Maybe I'll start the Mac and Cheese Truck

I read somewhere that raw corn is a vegetable; cooked corn is a starch.

Still, I mix silver queen sweet corn and English peas and tuna in my mac and cheese, and I use an organic whole grain brand I get at Henry's and Trader Joe's -- Annie's, I think, or Amy's. I forget.

My 12-year-old loves it.

I use the recipe from the back of the Muellers macaroni box.
