Velveeta is good for a few things, other than being a door stop; chili
con queso, mac & cheese, and maybe grilled cheese sandwiches. By
admitting this, you know our names are placed on a list somewhere. lol

Somewhere? Right here in Minnesota, babe! You wouldn't find yourself
on that list if you had stopped at chili con queso, but NOOOOO!

Velveeta is the same processed cheese food product used in the Kraft Deluxe
m&c cheese squeeze packet and cheez-whiz!!!

The best part is that I now have a wonderful appreciation for everything
life offers. It's not such a bad thing to come to terms with one's own
mortality.

Here's a recipe I found a few years back:

1. 1 (7.25 ounce) package KRAFT Macaroni and Cheese Dinner, prepared
as directed on package using Light Preparation directions
2. 1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
3. 1/2 pound lean ground beef, cooked, drained
4. 1 cup KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
5. 2 tablespoons KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spoon half of the prepared Dinner
into lightly greased 8-inch square baking dish.
2. Top with half each of the spaghetti sauce, meat and shredded
cheese. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
3. Bake 20 min. or until heated through.

2 boxes of regular Mac and Cheese. Prepared the usual way in a very large
bowl.
Then: add minced Canadian bacon, Parmesean and/or Romano, shredded sharp
cheddar, minced onion and covered with sliced provolone.
Bake at 350deg 45-60 minutes.
Freezes well.

Yum.

It has been a few years since I made mac & cheese, but if I want it, I
make my own. Like someone said, it is just as easy to make it from
scratch. I have bought Velveeta to make chili con queso, though. I
stay away from it, because I am avoiding tortilla chips. Why is
everything that tastes so good, so bad for you. lol

Trader Joe's has some relatively LC chips, which contain soy and
are studded with flax seeds. Not bad. The veggie ones are awful
though. (I have not gotten any recently--this is a carry over
from a while ago.)

I didn't pay attention to that, Ed. That's way too expensive for a bit of
powdered cheese. You might check the specialty food stores in your area.
I think one of ours carries it.

I haven't eaten the kind with the cheese powder that you mix with milk
and butter since I was a kid; that stuff made me gag as a kid. I do,
however, like the deluxe with the cheese sauce packet, and will add a
can of tuna and can of mushrooms to it. I also like to brown sausage
or ground beef and onion together and drain it and add it to the
deluxe mac and cheese.

One of my friends lives in Delaware and she gave me a gift basket that

They are decent--and flax is good for you. Of course, you aren't
supposed to eat a truckload of them.

nope. that's why there's Annie's mac & cheese
and for the 8 year old's lunch, Annie's microwave mac & cheese
(his classroom has a kitchen. they bake from scratch on Friday as

i make the sauce with butter & Cabot's Greek-style yogurt.
sometimes i add more cheese. i frequently add broccoli. sliced hot
dogs are popular with the guys, or the mini cheddar wurtz or smoked
dogs(but i don't really like it with hot dogs mixed in)

Flax seeds are high in fiber and filled with omega-3 fatty acids. I
only ate them to get healthy, honest! ;-)

I shopped TJs today and got a box of TJ's Os (cheerios). Probably not as
nutritious but good stuff none the less!

I was ****ed off that they didn't carry my favorite keylime pie yogurt!!! I
was temporarily (1 nanosecond) mad as hell!!!

Oh well, I still got my 85% cocoa dark chocolate!

Life is: GOOD

Have you seen the "new" multi-grained cheerios (I think they are

sf,

That's way overly fortified. Do you really want to get 100% of vitamins at
breakfast and OD the rest of the day?

They do get points for being all natural (no HFCS, transfats, etc.).

Honestly, I don't care. Fortified is fine by me. I just want
something healthy to fill my stomach in the morning and keep me going
