Kids and Kraft Macaroni & Cheese go together like peanut butter and jelly, milk and cookies, and silver and good, just to name a few comparisons. I serve up Kraft Macaroni & Cheese as a side dish 2-3 times per month. Sometimes I make it and serve it as-is, and other times I’ll mix in a bit of vegetables and/or tuna beforehand. It’s an easy way to get my kids to eat some extra protein and vegetables.
I’m posting about Kraft Macaroni & Cheese because I wanted to comment on the low-fat preparation that the box suggests. I usually just put together mac & cheese the “normal” way — four tablespoons of butter and 1/4 of a cup of milk. But I’ve been working hard at making better food choices (no best fat burners for me, thank you very much), so I decided to try the low-fat preparation. In case you don’t know, that involves just 1/2 of a tablespoon of butter, and three tablespoons of milk (fat-free is suggested; I used 1% fat). FYI, reducing the milk and butter cuts out 60% of fat!
And the verdict is… it still tastes great! I enjoyed it and the kids enjoyed it, so I’ll definitely continue with the low-fat preparation method.
