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!!!
