Sneaking the Veggies with KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese Dinner Veggie Pasta and GIVEAWAY!

by //

Recently I was able to preform a fun experiment on my family by replacing our regular KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese with the new KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese Dinner Veggie Pasta.  Only Morgan and I were aware of the swap.  We wanted to truly test the reactions to the product with out the family knowing in advance what was different.

We had two different kinds that we served at one meal.  Original and Three Cheese flavors.

I want to start this by saying that I do not have a problem getting the girls to eat veggies!  They love them!  But still…I know a lot of parents struggle with this.

There is a half serving of cauliflower per cup of the new KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese Dinner Veggie Pasta!  It still has a  creamy, cheesy flavor like the original.  The cauliflower is baked right into the macaroni!  It still looks the same, but the taste is a little different.  Lauren usually doesn’t like the boxed Macaroni & Cheese.  But with this she loved it!  In fact she gobbled it up quicker than anyone else at the table.  I too thought it tasted better.  Jeremy and Emma didn’t seem to notice a difference and ate it just like it was the regular kind.  Morgan as well, even though she knew it was different she didn’t notice much of a difference in taste.

  6. My kids typically eat their veggies but occasionally I will puree them and hid ether in food:)

  14. Vegatables are no probems around here, everyone eats them especially out of the garden- what I do sneak in is whole grains- this pasta is sneaky, I like it 🙂

  21. I’m super duper lucky – mine has always loved veggies. She would eat a fresh tomato over a slice of pizza 🙂 I usually double the veggies in any recipe I try.

  22. I, too, have been fortunate as regards to my kids eating veggies. During the summer growing season, early in the morning, I’d find them in the garden eating the ripe veggies. I used to blame the wildlife for stealing the veggies, but when I realized it was the kids I was a happy camper. 😉 Thanks.

  23. I sneak veggies iinto pasta sauces, by whirring them up in the blender!

  47. I don’t have to sneak them in because my three kids love veggies, although they do love them slathered in butter and parmesan cheese which we have to woork on.

  59. I don’t usually have to sneak in veggies but I do try to add some different ones in my pasta sauce that the kids don’t usually eat.

  87. I blend veggies into the tomato sauce

  125. I add pureed carrot to spaghetti sauce, mac & cheese, and other recipes. I also do this with sweet potatoes.

  129. The little ones like to harvest ( and eat ) the vegetables from the backyard, so we make a rainbow salad together!

  158. I haven’t gotten the hang of sneaking in veggies, my kids are so picky that they figure it out! 😀 Would love to try these pastas!

  160. I normally sneak veggies in meatloaf, and spaghetti.(grate zucchini and carrots finely) Manwich also has veggies in it.
