So Hulk loves macaroni (or 'macanonee' as he puts it) and cheese. Most times I grab two different blocks of cheese, add some milk, half and half .. whatever I have handy and a little butter and go from there.
I came across a recommendation and rave for Anthony's Cheddar Cheese Powder in a Celiac group and my curiosity was sparked. I wont lie. Once in a while I still enjoyed some basic blue box Kraft mac and cheese. It is true, I confess.
From our journey so far, there has not been a GF boxed mac and cheese that the kids have liked. Do they NEED mac and cheese from a box? Nope. Is it nice sometimes to just pull out a box and make it? Yup. It sure is.
So I made my way onto Amazon, avoiding everything else that caught my eye (along with ignoring everything I have saved in my cart for another time) and purchased a bag. It was roughly $13 when I bought it.
The review: the kids loved it. I used about 1/4 cup of the cheese powder with milk and butter and it was awesome. The kids liked that it was not stringy (sometimes when I make it with various cheeses it gets stringy) and that it tasted really cheesy! I liked that I could read all the ingredients before getting bored, it was easy to use, and the kids loved it. Especially that the kids loved it. I also like that we can choose the type of pasta we want to pair it with (not all GF pastas are equal - we really like Barilla brand) and that we can choose to make as much or as little as we want at a time. No more wasting a whole box for one kid ... or adult.
If you or your kiddo is gluten free, for whatever reason and enjoys a bowl of simple mac and cheese - I recommend giving this a try! The back also gives suggestions on using it in other dishes ... I may need to try over broccoli for my more picky eater!
