My favorite food: Annie’s Organic Shells and White Cheddar

by Sandi Klingler, July Food Faves winner

My favorite food is Annie’s organic shells and white cheddar. My 4 year old, Molly, started eating this as a baby when she only had two teeth. It’s easy and very yummy. Whenever I ask Molly what she wants for dinner, she yells MACARONI AND CHEESE and does a special little dance of happiness. Although there are weeks when it seems like we eat it every single day, it’s not actually that often (don’t ask Molly, she’s been bribed into silence). But it sure is nice to come home after a long day of work and know that we have a fallback meal if I don’t have the creativity or energy to cook anything too demanding. It’s a great meal with some frozen veggies and fruit to round it out, and we usually have some leftovers for lunch the next day. We buy it by the case and couldn’t live without it!
