Mac & Cheese but make it healthy.. sort of

Welcome back to another Target find!

I enjoy fun and weird frozen meals, as most of you probably know by now, but I also like sort of healthier ones because I don't eat all that healthy in general. 

One thing I've always struggled with is mac & cheese. I've only ever found one frozen mac & cheese that I've ever really enjoyed, and that's the CHAO vegan mac & cheese. I have a previous post on that if you're ever interested. I still keep that one on hand, but I save it for special occasions because it's VERY pricy for a frozen meal.

So when I saw this mac & cheese, I had to try it. This is the same brand that did the burrito bowl I reviewed recently and thoroughly enjoyed, so I had some high hopes for this.

Sadly, it isn't vegan, so there is a decent amount of cheese in it, but I can have a little bit of dairy, and I'm glad I did!

 

I know it doesn't look like much. After I stirred it and mixed up the cheese, it looked much better, but I didn't take a picture of that.

I was expecting something completely different. I don't know what, but it wasn't this. I've had some cauliflower mac & cheeses in my search for yummy and somewhat healthy mac & cheese, but none have ever been successful. This is the most successful so far!

The cauliflower was literally just chunks of cauliflower, which I'm not mad at. I love cauliflower!

When I was a kid, my mom used to make this cheese sauce that she would put on top of the cauliflower, and it was one of my favorite things she made for me, and this frozen meal was quite reminiscent of that. 

There are also breadcrumbs on top, which I don't have a lot of personal opinions about, but there's that. You can put this in the oven after microwaving it to crisp up the breadcrumbs. That isn't for me, but if you ever try this, it is an option.

The flavor is exactly what you think it will be; it's literally just cauliflower with a cheese sauce-type thing and breadcrumbs, but it's really good. I could probably just buy some ingredients and make it myself for cheaper, but meh. I'm lazy.

I don't foresee myself buying this often by any means, but it was really good, and I enjoyed it. I probably will buy it again.

Overall, I give it a 7/10. It was good, but not like mind blowing.

See you on the next one!

Byeeee!
