Amy's Macaroni and Cheese — 

Just as I judge any ice cream company by the type of "Just Plain Vanilla (JPV)" it makes, so it is that I put Amy's Kitchen to the ultimate test by checking out their "Macaroni and Cheese made with Organic Pasta" (not to be confused with their "Rice Mac and Cheese" which I haven't tried yet).

Amy's Macaroni and Cheese made with Organic Pasta is a rich, satisfying dish -- plenty of smooth cheddar sauce and chewy, al dente pasta to say nothing of a nice short list of ingredients.  No fillers or preservatives here.  All ingredients are organic and include:  macaroni, lowfat milk, cheddar cheese, grade AA butter, organic rice flour, sea salt and annatto.  (Yes?  Did someone just say my name?!!)

The contents of the nine ounce box is one serving which contains 410 calories with 140 calories from fat.  There are 16 grams total fat, ten grams saturated fat, zero trans fat, 40 mg. cholesterol, 590 mg. sodium, 47 grams total carbs, three grams dietary fiber, six grams sugars, and 16 grams protein.  There are also 15% (D.V.) Vitamin A, 2% Vitamin C, 30% calcium, and 10% iron.

I know what you are thinking and I agree, the nutritional counts on this product are a little high but remember, this is Macaroni and Cheese and when it comes to Macaroni and Cheese, we could do a lot worse.

TASTE TIP:

Although this is a rich satisfying dish, nowhere is it written that you can't garnish it with a fresh sliced tomato and a piece of baked fish.

Love that there are no fillers or preservatives. Annie's is the only Macaroni we eat in our house! :-)
