A hot ooey, gooey, melty bowl of delicious creamy mac and cheese.
Heavenly and an ultimate part of American Childhood, right? Think back to your childhood, whether it was the super classic blue box, or the newer shells, spirals etc… macaroni and cheese is as much a part of our culture, childhood, memories as hot dogs, baseball and apple pie.
However, for many families, that is not so. That blue box, that hot melted bowl of ooey, creamy deliciousness is a luxury they rarely get to indulge in.
Kraft’s Share A Little Comfort Campaign is striving to change that.
They are working with Feeding America.org to donate up to one million boxes (anyone else picture Dr. Evil pinky style there?, no? carry on then) of Kraft’s Blue Box Macaroni and Cheese!! That is a TON of Macaroni and Cheese!! In addition to the 1 million boxes of macaroni and cheese, Kraft is donating $100,000 in cash to Feeding America, too!
YAY Kraft!!!

And The Winner Is
My favorite memory is from when I was a nanny. I used to make the girls macaroni and cheese on a regular basis.
One morning I came over after their cousin had babysat for them for the evening. The older girl told me that I needed to give their cousin macaroni and cheese making lessons. I probed her a little further and asked her what it was like. It was gritty, I was told, and not at all creamy.
I told B. she could teach her cousin – to read the box! She hadn’t added in the milk and butter.
It might have been funnier if you were there.
But it was nice to know my macaroni and cheese making skills were appreciated!

I like to add chili to my mac and cheese. When I was a college student, I added everything I could think of to my Kraft mac, it was comfort food and very affordable!
