IHOP Mac and Cheese

I thought of mac and cheese while at IHOP the other day. Does the International House of Pancakes have mac and cheese on their menu?

Why yes, yes they do. Kraft mac and cheese in the kid's section, "served with fresh fruit" (about $5).

It tasted exactly how I thought it would taste. I know Kraft mac and cheese. That's all I ate during my dorming days in college. Nothing to get all worked up over.



SCORE: SILLY MONKEY, IHOP IS FOR PANCAKES

Stouffer's Mac & Cheese

Today for lunch I decided to be exciting and try a brand of mac n cheese I'd never had before. Stouffer's macaroni & cheese. "100% REAL Cheddar Cheese" it boasts. It made me ponder the existence of fake cheese for a few seconds, but I moved on!

Unfortunately for lazy me, it was one of those cook a little then stir then cook some more type of deals. SIGH #firstworldproblems

And the verdict. SUUUUPER CHEESY! The macs were drownin' in cheese!! And you know what, it was actually pretty darn good. Tasty cheese, non-smushy mac, and overall a good basic mac n cheese. I would totally hit this again.

SCORE:  2 STARS says I'd put you on my go-to mac n cheese list if I had such a thing!! Good stuff.

Portabella Spinach Parmesan

My lunch yesterday:

I'm a sucker for the frozen food boxes that like to show off how healthy they are, so I decided to try this guy out yesterday.

High marks for the simple cooking instructions. Just throw in the microwave for 4.5~5 minutes. None of that cook for 2 minutes then stir then add 2 drops of unicorn tears and put the cover back on to cook for 3 minutes nonsense. The packaging was also quite modern.

Too bad it was kinda gross. The pasta was all mushy and the cheese got stuck to my teeth. Didn't care too much for the flavor either.

SCORE: NO

The Birthday Mac and Cheese

My friend made me some mac and cheese for my birthday and holy cow it was crazy good!!! It was like a mac and cheese quiche, with all the macs and cheeses suspended in a glorious egg mattress. Mac! and cheese!! AND EGGS!!! Pure genius. Friend, you have been elevated to mac and cheese god status. Thank you so much for this amazing birthday present!

I managed to get this one crappy picture before getting caught up in epic eating.

Score: 3 FULL STARS I BOW DOWN TO YOU MAC AND CHEESE GOD
