Annie's Organic Macaroni & Cheese

Im a big fan of the Shells and Real Aged Cheddar macaroni and cheese. The pasta is delicious (if not over/under cooked...obviously). Ive tried Kraft Organic Mac and Cheese and its nowhere near as good as Annie's. Annie's is absolutely fine by itself if you enjoy the traditional mac and cheese route...If you like adding extras (you know, the "just how mom use to make it" extras) then you can use any mac n' cheese and its really not going to matter if youre adding ten pounds of miscellaneous food. If you are adding tons to your mac you might as well use an organic flavorful pasta like Annie's.

For the traditional mac n' cheese enthusiast I'd say if you pick Annie's you wont be dissapointed. 

When I was a kid Mac & Cheese was my family's comfort food. Crappy day at work for mom? Mac & Cheese for dinner. Didn't win at my track meet? Mac & Cheese for dinner. Life generally dealing a low blow? Mac & Cheese for dinner. Fortunately I didn't have very many comfort food requiring incidents, otherwise my next rating would be of the best green diet pill! Unfortunately, my well intentioned mom only bought Velveeta Shells and Cheese, which, in the course of my green enlightenment I've discovered is really nothing other than an amalgam of chemicals that could probably survive/fend off a nuclear attack.

When a boyfriend disaster struck a few months ago and I felt the urge for Mac & Cheese goodness, I picked up Annie's Shells and Cheese -- admittedly not expecting much -- and I was bowled over by how delish it was. The cheese is creamy -- and real! -- it cooks up fast, and my troubles melted away as the cheese melted into the shells. Mmmm...sounds good right now, even without a minor crisis!!

I love this product...I buy the certified organic ones though. It's great tasting. My son and husband love it as well...and I add veggies to it and sometimes turkey dogs and makes a wonderful meal. This like others has a little bit of a high sodium content.

Some of them are only 70% organic...I get the certified organic ones and the certified organic whole grain ones also.

We found various kinds of Annies Pasta & Cheeses at Big Lots for $1 each so stocked up. I always prefer to eat organic when the price is doable. So even though this $1 a box is almost twice what conventional boxes of simlar products cost, for this product and the amount of food and ect... we felt it was worth it. I am glad we did too. I love this! I avoid boxed foods as a rule when it's conventional- and pass on it organic too cause it's normally cheaper to buy the pasta and seasonings and cheese/meat to put together yourself, but these have been really good, and helped out tremendously while we've been working on the new house.

My kids adore this meal.  I cook it at least once a week.  I think they'd eat it 3 times a week if I'd let them.  I like it too, but try not to eat that type of thing that much.  It's very cheesy and I really like that it doesn't have color added.  It's a quick and easy meal when you're on the run.  Add some carrot sticks or apples and you have a meal.
