Mac n Cheese

I assumed I'd have to give up mac and cheese with my low salt low fat diet. Well, due to the ingenuity of Kraft Foods, and the inquisivity of me, I can. Kraft started marketing the cheese topping in a shaker can. The sodium level per serving was tolerable to my diet. To cheese it up, I added a serving of ricotta cheese, also low in sodium, and a serving of parmesean. Stired it all up in hot cooked macaroni, then popped it in a 400° oven for 10 minutes.

It was preety good. I was not the "Glue Pot" my grandparents nicknamed, but it was quite tasty, and within the confines of my diet.

I called Kraft this morning, and confirmed my suspicions. The canister contains the contents of the cheese packets from the box dinners. Since the canisters are difficult to find, and a tad, pricey, I can buy the blue box stuff, and use the powdery "cheez-food" and my cheese it up recipe with out adding all that salty old milk and butter.

On another note, I may have found a low sodium alternative to Ramen, but that is for another day.
