Review:
This was ok... Nothing like your good ole' Blue Box of Mac & Cheese, but it was tasty. My 2 year old loved it, and gobbled it up, I enjoyed it and it did satisfy my craving for pasta and cheese sauce. Would definitely be good for a holiday dinner as a traditional side dish. Overall I'd give it 3 stars.
