I received in my MomaVox from Influenster box a single serve
Annie’s
Real Aged Cheddar Microwavable Macaroni and Cheese for review. My thoughts are my own and my sons on this
product.
Annie's Macaroni & Cheese is made with real cheese and
my son had no problem with me taking a picture of him enjoying every last bit
of it! Andrew, pictured, stated that
Annie’s Macaroni and Cheese is comparable to the Kraft microwavable – however I
disagree. Maybe he was just really
hungry because it was right after school.
To me the texture (noodles) was a bit mushy and the cheese sauce was
thick and not very tasty. I am going to
guess it is pretty high in sodium as well.
When you make it you first add water to the noodles and this
white powder stuff that is used as a thickener and stir. For one thing, there is far too much thickener
in the container, at least there was in ours.
You then nook it for 3 minutes, stir it, then add the cheese powder in
and stir until the cheese has fully been incorporated into the pasta and thickener. Now I had tasted the thickener prior to
adding the cheese powder to the mix just to see if it had a taste – it does –
and definitely leaves an aftertaste on your palate. I again tasted it after the cheese mixture
was fully incorporated and naw… I will so pass!
Maybe it is my adult palate or that I tasted the thickener before adding
the cheese, but personal, it was not very tasty to me. It wasn't horrible mind you, just not what I
would like in a mac and cheese and definitely not for the price they are asking
for it. I do like though that it is made in the United
States.
