Kraft Homestyle Macaroni and Cheese

So if you know me..you know my love for macaroni and cheese. :) Well... Kraft has a new product out, that I found at my local grocery store for "Homestyle" Creamy Parmesan Alfredo.  And let me tell you, for it being from the folks that make the "blue box stuff" (which I still love!) This seemed more "adult" and "homemade" so I had to give it a try. 

With just a few more steps then the boxed variety it was ready in about 20 minutes.  Boil noodles, add seasoning and milk and return to a boil to thicken, add cheese sauce and stir through while heating to melt, add noodles and serve.

Real creamy Alfredo sauce mixed with chunky elbow macaroni noodles and a sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese on top! I loved it from the first bite. YUM!!  It also comes in Hearty Four Cheese and Classic Cheddar.  I will definitely be buying this bag again!

Straight hair...Frizz free!
