Today’s meal is Marie Callendar’s Fresh Flavor Steamer Smoky Cheddar Mac & Uncured Bacon. I should begin with a disclaimer: my family doesn’t have a tradition for homemade mac & cheese. I realize that for many people, this is absolutely sacrilegious. Well, we’re sorry. We make many awesome homemade dishes in my family, but mac & cheese just isn’t one of them; the Kraft box was always good enough for us.
That said, though, as soon as I got over the initial childhood shock of mac & cheese that didn’t look exactly like the box variety of which I was accustomed, I have always been able to appreciate a good homemade mac & cheese, when offered to me by another family. But I have absolutely no expectation for it, so I don’t have particularly discriminating taste for this dish.
As expected, I thoroughly enjoyed the taste and texture of this meal. But then I got to looking more closely at the nutrition information. Nineteen grams of fat. Nineteen! Most of the meals I’ve eaten for this blog have had 5 or 6 grams of fat. 840 mg of sodium. Whew! At a total of 380 calories also, this will not be a meal I’ll buy again in the new year of babyfat-losing resolutions!
