Mac and Cheese


If you have kids, (or are a kid at heart),  you must have this product in your pantry.......










.

Kraft M&C if soooo very unhealthy. Full of chemicals, food dyes yuck!  Here is what you find in their "Blue Box": 

Cheese Sauce

Every package of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese contains a package of mix to make cheese sauce. The cheese sauce mix contains several milk ingredients: whey (milk protein), milk protein concentrate, milk, milkfat and cheese culture. The cheese sauce mix also contains salt, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium phosphate and calcium phosphate. According to the International Food Additives Council, sodium phosphates help cheese retain its melting properties and calcium phosphate improves nutritional value. Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 are added to the sauce mix as colorings. Final ingredients in the sauce mix are citric acid, lactic acid and enzymes. According to the Food Additives and Ingredients Association, acids are added to foods as preservatives and emulsifiers. Enzymes are catalysts, and may help the cheese sauce reconstitute properly.

I go through a large Kids Cheez a week. Hannah loves mac and cheese, in fact, she had it for breakfast today.  And I ate the leftovers for my lunch.
