  1. My kids loved plain Kraft but they love when I add hotdogs or hamburger. It is a meat and pasta in one shot just add a salad and lunch or dinner is done!!

  2. Kelly, adding hotdogs or hamburger to boxed macaroni is skating on thin ice, but we'll give it to you this time! I need really homemade recipes. What's the first part of your email address (before the @ sign) so I can verify you as a winner? Pete :-)

  4. It is ok I know it wasn't really a recipe but most real recipes with flower and a rue and chedder cheese never come out the same. Plus kids don't usually like them they like the powder kind LOL. I have 3 and even my child with Autism and has texture issues only likes the box kind so that is what I make. He won't eat real cheese. Sorry just like the duckies and your site. Hope some others have some really good recipes and good luck! Thanks

  5. Kelly, count me in on the boxed kind too! It's fast and easy to make, not to mention delicious until it gets cold and clumpy. LOL If you've subscribed to our blog here, you're a winner, just give me the first part of your email addy before the @ sign so I can confirm it. I really want to send you a ducky! :-) Pete

  11. It's hard to beat Kraft. My kids rarely eat anything else.....Here is a "tweaked" version of Kraft mac & cheese. :)

    2 1/3 water
    1 pkg of KRAFT mac and cheese
    1/2 tsp dry basil leaves (crushed)
    1/2 tsp garlic powder
    3 cups frozen veg medley (broc, cauliflower, carrots)

    Boil water and add pasta and seasonings. Stir in veggies. Reduce to medium heat and cover and simer for 10 minutes. Stir in cheese sauce. Cool and stir 2 minutes until thick and creamy. Add fresh tomatoes on the side at the end!!!! Kids love it!

  12. Oh no, not vegetables in the Kraft!!! Kelly, are you seeing this? LOL Traci, you are winner #3, but I will NOT be making this one! Even fresh tomatoes on the side to boot......how cruel can you be? ;-) Pete
