CHEW THE RIGHT THING





BITE IT!

HG's Too-EZ Mac 'n Cheese



Please Cheese Me

Our mac 'n cheese doesn't need to be a fluorescent shade of orange to

stand up to the competition. It tastes AMAZING, and it's as simple as A-B-C,

1-2-3, Do-Re-Mi. (P.S. The cheesy cauliflower works perfectly here -- trust

us!)

Ingredients:

1 package Green Giant Family Size Cauliflower & Three Cheese Sauce

(freezer aisle)

2 cups uncooked Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat Blend Rotini Pasta

(or another whole-wheat or whole-wheat-blend pasta)

3 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese

Optional: salt and black pepper, to taste



Directions:

Prepare pasta according to the instructions on the box, and then drain well

and set aside. While pasta is cooking, place contents of the cauliflower &

sauce package in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave for

12 - 16 minutes, until sauce has melted and cauliflower is hot.



Once the bowl is cool enough to handle, remove it from the microwave and

add cooked pasta. Set aside. Unwrap cheese wedges and place in a small

microwave-safe dish. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth, and then

add to the bowl.



Mix thoroughly, ensuring that the Laughing Cow cheese is evenly distributed

and the pasta and cauliflower are coated in cheese sauce. If you like, season

to taste with salt and pepper. Enjoy!

FIGHT IT!

Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner



BIG Mac

We grew up eating that mac & cheese from the infamous blue box. Who

didn't?! Truth be told, that stuff tastes good. You make it with butter and

milk, so of course it's gonna taste great. But adding fatty ingredients to

boxed pasta with cheese powder is certainly NOT the only way to get super-

delicious cheesy macaroni. We assure you. This recipe is proof! It's JUST as

quick 'n easy as the Kraft version, but it's WAY lower in fat and calories. Plus,

it has actual nutritional value. (It's true!) You get all the cheesy noodley

goodness and way more bang for your calorie buck with ours. So head to the

kitchen and whip up a batch of our vegged out, cheesylicious pasta ASAP.

Then email in and let us know how you like it. Special thanks go out to our

BFF The Laughing Cow, without whom this recipe would not be possible. WE

LOVE YOU, COW!!!
