Hello LilyOnTheLam.Com Readers!
If you read yesterday's blog post, you'll know that I spent most of this summer eating processed food and just trying to keep my head above water in my new job.
Thankfully I have found that shortchanging myself on sleep, barely moving and eating all processed food was the surefire remedy to killing myself - and have since changed course direction.
But I have a TON of product reviews to write about from my "Summer of Processed Food," so even though it's not Wednesday I am going to do a "New Product Wednesday" product review where I write about a product that is new or at least new to me.
As I was stressed with my new job, I could tell I was definitely seeking comfort from food. And one of my comfort food faves is macaroni and cheese - it's starch, carbs, cheese, fatty goodness. What's not to love? Sadly, if you read my post from yesterday I haven't found a lot of "love" back from these frozen, processed comfort foods. Yesterday's post on Stouffer's Cheeseburger Mac macaroni and cheese cup was a bomb - and not in a good way. So today we stay with the macaroni and cheese genre with a review of "all natural" Evol Chipotle Chicken Mac & Cheese.
This darling little box looked healthier than the other processed mac and cheese frozen options. And it's name is "Love" spelled backwards. Surely that stands for quality and mondo deliciousness, right? Well to my tastebuds, Evol spells "Not Tasty" or "ytsat ton."
I had high hopes for this trendy looking box of designer mac and cheese. I have a love for anything with the word chipotle in it. I followed the product cooking directions and came up with this ...
The entree has a crumb topping. I mixed up the mac and cheese and tried it. It did taste smoky, but I couldn't see or taste any chicken. It also was dry as the Sahara. I think of mac and cheese as lush and saucy. This is not a reduced calorie entree, so where is the sauciness of this mac and cheese.
It was better than Stouffer's cheeseburger mac cups, but not by much. I ate four bites and threw it away. I wasn't going to waste my calories on this entree.
Sorry Evol - I didn't love or evol your product. No comfort found in this comfort food dish!
