Amy's Mac 'N Cheese

Finally got my hands on a box of non-dairy Amy's Mac 'N Cheese and wow! It cost me $4 but it's definitely worth it every now and then as a treat. It uses Daiya cheese so it's super gooey and cheesey. I wanted to offer my husband some to see if it tasted like the real thing, but honestly it was so good I did not want to share! If you're vegan make sure you get the right kind. Amy's makes several versions of Mac 'N Cheese. One is dairy free but still contains a milk protein (it says so on the front of the box.) I found the vegan one at Earth Fare. It also happens to be gluten free as well. It would be something nice to keep in the freezer as emergency comfort food because it certainly is just that. I'm craving green beans and toast now because that's what my mom always used to serve us with mac 'n cheese. Weird but good.

Another food to be on the lookout for is the Sunshine Burger Organic Falafel Pattie. They are on clearance right now at my Harris Teeter so I stocked up. I had one of those the other night with some sliced cucumber and a dip made of veganaise and lemon juice and it turned out to be a really delicious but also super healthy meal.

Mike and I had a date night last weekend courtesy of MyCokeRewards. I turned in some of my points for a Blockbuster movie night (two DVD rentals, one popcorn tub, and two 20 oz drinks). We haven't quite dipped our toes in the whole Netflix thing yet so this was our first movie in a while. We saw two good movies (not great, but they entertained well): Iron Man 2 and Pirate Radio. Before the movies we stopped at McAlister's for dinner. I got the baked potato with veggie chili (minus the cheese). It was very good but too much food for one sitting. They throw two potatoes together so it looks like one giant potato. That's a lot of food! They also have really big drinks. Fortunately that was easy to take with us when we left.

Hope everyone has a cozy Christmas this weekend and a little snow!
