I have never made boxed mac & cheese either.

it is banned from my house... along with shake & bake and hamburger helper.

OMG, Hamburger Helper is one of my favorites!
Yeah, hamburger helper rocks on a budget.

 
Sure, maybe in moderation. But one or two sticks of butter for a single meal?

Butter is loaded with cholesterol and saturated fat and will contribute over time in the build up of cholesterol and other stuff in the artery walls. That's not healthy. These plaques increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. (duh)

Perhaps my irony meter is broken today.

For mac and cheese, I'd use 1/3 of stick's worth of butter made from olive oil.

In terms of health:

Olive Oil Butter > Normal Butter >>>> Fake Butter
 
fvck fvck fvck fvck, 1st attempt completely fvcked up up.

Kinda looked at the direction says cook 4 min. After I was all done thing was still hard not really cooked it seems. Reread direction it was actually something about roasting walnut? for 4 min and the actual direction was cook for 6-7 min..............
Now I need to go buy a new box of macaroni

Those things are like 0.35. Buy a few at least. The money you're going to spend on gas to get more would pay for 2-3 boxes, lol.
