My kids, like most kids, loved Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and I made it weekly for them. As my kids grew up, I quit buying K.D. It has been years since I looked at it on the market shelf, but since a little grandson was coming for a visit, I thought I better have a box on hand. Oh my, I had no idea there were so many kinds of Kraft Dinner to choose from.
