Macaroni and Cheese: Glutino 3 Cheese Macaroni & Cheese

Again I find myself purusing the isles of Wegmans, every week I see another new Glutino product available.

I'm a big fan of macaroni and cheese and when I saw Glutino and remembered the fond memmories of their pretzels I had to buy.

The product comes in frozen with one serving per box. Preperation is easy, microwave for 4 minutes, stir, and microwave another minute then serve.

The experience:
After the first microwave go-around, as I stirred the macaroni and cheese I noticed it was very oily and the cheese seemed chunky.

After a few minutes to cool down I was able to take my first bite. The macaroni seemed a bit tough and wasn't smooth. The cheese tasted ok, but wasn't too impressive. Amy's seems a much tastier choice.

The rice pasta is made from brown rice which makes it a bit healthier. The cheeses are monterey jack, cheddar, and parmesan.
