Review by Erin Pavlina

When I first noticed the new flavor from Road's End Organics I thought, "Oh, same old thing, different shape." But when I read the box more closely I noticed it said the the chreese was orange. If you read my previous review of Macaroni and Chreese you would have noticed that I'm not a big fan of products that are full of nutritional yeast. But Matthew Koch, the President of Road's End Organics, assured me this was very different.

One afternoon, after my toddler woke from her nap, I decided we would try it together. It's really fast and easy to make. The "cheese" sauce looked orange and it didn't overpower me with a nutritional yeast smell.

Emily and I sat down together at the table to eat it. I said, "Look at the cute shapes. Those are numbers, honey." She looked at me like, "Yeah, who cares, Mom. Just give me the spoon!" So I let her try it first. She liked it and immediately wanted more. I tried some myself and I have to say it was pretty darn good! Before Emily knew it, I had eaten half the contents of her bowl! Luckily there was plenty to go around.

I am pleasantly surprised by this product. It tastes great, has B12 for my toddler, and was fast and easy to make. Bravo!
