Mac & Cheese has made it's way onto many menus. Have I raised this topic before? Hope not. Originally a staple on the kiddie menu, it seems mac & cheese is everywhere. All sorts variations and toppings, from lobster and more.

I must admit, I'm not a mac & cheese fan. It's just something that doesn't tempt me. I love pasta with a good marinara sauce, with a scampi sauce, with veggies, but mac & cheese isn't on my radar. A few weeks ago I ordered some as a side dish and after a few bites I was done. It doesn't fall into the "calorie worthy" category; not a real fan of rich sauces like alfredo, either. I guess given my love of chocolate, it's a good thing that tomato based sauces tempt me more than sauces with lots of cheese, heavy cream, etc.

So is mac and cheese on your menu, or do you just keep a box of it around for the grandkids?

 

There are some local restaurants that make it great and I always ordered there. Then there's the crap we sometimes serve the grandkids - I pass on that.

 

Generally love it, but never get it.

 

Mac & Cheese is always good....in fact Karla made a big batch 3 days ago and I just finished it up tonite as a side to my hot dogs!

I love mac n cheese but it is not on my list of foods I eat regularly. Falls into the bad category from a health perspective.

 

I love it! Years ago I ate it with bread, butter and jelly, but now just with a vegetable. Usually get the Kraft M & C in a box. I could eat it all day long.
No my veins are pretty clear, thank you.

 

It does indeed! If I'm going to eat food in the bad category, it will likely be something with sugar, vs lots of cheese or rich sauces.

 

Not a really big fan. Reminds me of the days when it was about all we could afford!

 

Love the stuff, rarely eat it. Would not be caught dead with a box of "mac 'n cheese." Make it the right way or just skip it.

 

It is trendy on menus now - lobster mac n cheese, truffle mac n cheese, etc. But so are Brussels sprouts - mostly roasted. Maybe they are trying to offset the evil factor.
