The bunny vs. the blue box

Annie's Homegrown Macaroni & Cheese is the pantry staple of harried, organo-hipster parents everywhere. But is it any healthier than the day-glo noodles of our white-bread childhoods?

    It's one pot vs two and a grater....

    And far easier to clean the one pan, too! The white cheese powder also doesn't stain as much as the Kraft fluorescent glo-powder.

    Seriously, homemade mac 'n cheese is a hassle to make and clean, and the sauce is never smooth - it's okay for big family meals, but not for quickly feeding one or two kids. And there's lots of clumped up cheese glop to clean - by hand, since the dishwasher won't cut it.

    But what I do is reduce the cheese powder to half, and add a handful of already grated cheese in place of the butter - voila - great tasting, smooth sauced mac 'n cheese, with just one pan. Use the remaining cheese powder for popcorn.

    (It must be comfort food time of the year.....)
