its the cheesiest

I thought I'd let all the readers who think we're "crunchy weirdos" know that we're eating our fourth consecutive dinner of boxed Mac and Cheese tonight. Although maybe that only eliminates the "crunchy" and not the "weirdo".

Not sure, but being so cheap, easy and delicious, Mac and Cheese satisfies all our requirements for weeknight dining. Our favorite is Annie's Homegrown, but we generally just buy whatever is cheapest or on sale with reckless disregard for sodium content or other health considerations. We've found Mac and Cheese to be a most chameleon-like food. It pretty much adapts to whatever we throw in it, and we definitely like to throw stuff in. Tonight's M+C is spiked with spinach from our CSA share, tuna, and a fair amount of Cholula. Sean tipped me off on the Cholula thing...Cholula is God's gift to Mac+Cheese. Last night we added some pesto, which Sean has been making from scratch- pesto is the best way we've found to use up the truckload of basil we get each week from the CSA.

But pesto, schmesto. This post is a tribute to carbs and powdered cheese! Let me resume: the night before last we added chicken, black beans, and hot sauce. The night before that its simple side shined as a side to some skirt steak.

It never complains about the frequent changes, just goes down easy. It's awesome when we're tired and lazy. It's pretty much awesome whenever.

Thank you powdered cheese pouch.

We love you.
