Review: Road’s End Organic Mac and Chreese

Please check out my disclosure policy for more details!I know it was far from good for me, but my childhood memories of Kraft Mac and Cheese are fond ones. I loved the way those little fun-shaped noodles tasted. And why was it that the fun shapes tasted better than the regular? A mystery of life.
Anyway, I’ve made mac and cheese a couple ways since living dairy-free, most of the time using Teese Cheese, but I thought this box might be worth a shot. Maybe it would taste like the Kraft Mac and Cheese from back in the day?
Made with whole-wheat elbows, this Road’s End Mac and Chreese was satisfying, but definitely not as tasty as anything made with Teese Cheese. There isn’t anything special about it, really, but there isn’t anything wrong with it either. It’s just a middling “mac and cheese.” Teese cheddar sauce gives the noodles that creamy taste that you miss when being dairy-free and this has a kind of cheesy taste to it but no creaminess.
I think next time, I’d try making this with broccoli or veggie dogs to give it a little something extra, and it would probably be pretty yummy. As is, it’s a decent side dish, but I wouldn’t write home about it (I guess instead I wrote a blog about it).

I have tried several GF, DF mac and cheese products. I never review them, but this time I had to. This tastes nothing like mac and cheese, It has a nasty after taste. It is awful. I added tomato sauce to try to cover the taste and it helped. It is the worse one I’ve ever bought. It isn’t because of the whole grain as I use them all the time.

Thanks for the feedback, Deedee. Like I said in my blog, it wasn’t my favorite thing ever, either. Anything else you’ve bought that impresses you?
