Default 1st real mac/cheese

if you have a meijers near you, they have a house brand vegetable, parisian
vegetables, 16 oz usually 88 cents here, almost minced vegetables, broccoli,
corn, peas, green beens and others that are at least diced almost minced
that would be perfect for this item, we now use them for soup, cuts out most
chopping, Lee
