Kraft Three Cheese Mac and Cheese Dinner with Mini-Shell Pasta

We all know that Kraft is the king of Mac and Cheese Dinner but their Three Cheese with Mini-Shell Pasta offering is not as strong as their original. 

This is not to say that it's bad in any way but I would say it's less good, and less flavorful. I guess if you're in a less flavor mood this is the ticket. Also, if you plan to add flavor like pepper or hot sauce this would be a better option because other flavors will stand out more. 

Not bad, but could be better.
 

HMR Chicken Pasta Parmesan

 Chicken Pasta Parmesan is one of the better option from HMR so long as you don't inhale it like I did. I mean, why do I eat like I'm starving? Ah, because I'm a fat pig and I grew up in a home where my brother would eat anything good long before I got to it. 

There is enough chicken in this to make it good. There could be more but when is that not true? Being health food it hasn't enough salt to carry the flavor but I  should cut down on the salt anyway. 

This is a win, I should get more. 

SE Grocers Essentials Macaroni & Cheese Dinner

 SE Grocers Essentials Macaroni & Cheese Dinner is one of those store brands that is almost as good but not the real deal. I noted it to be lighter in color and to have less flavor than the name brand product. 

In the end, this is food made for poor people to keep them alive. You should very much respect the working poor. They give it there all but normally stay poor. 

Eating this is kind of depressing. 

Better Valu Macaroni & Cheese Dinner

 Better Valu Macaroni & Cheese Dinner lives up to it's name being good for the money and enough for one person to have for a meal. I would not eat it on it's own, but rather have it with vegetables. 

The idea of this stuff is to feed a hungry family, and I'm all about that.

Cracker barrel Single Bowl Macaroni & Cheese Dinner Sharp White Cheddar

Cracker barrel Single Bowl Macaroni & Cheese Dinner Sharp White Cheddar is more of that swanky food that you just look at and think 'well, that's posh'. I find this to be a bit of an oddity. I mean, it's not bad but it's not as good as the normal deal.

I wouldn't get this again unless it was a good deal. 

Pioneer Chicken Shrimp Dinner

At the two remaining locations of Pioneer Chicken in southern California you can get yourself some shrimp. It's good old shrimp with all the shrimpness you can want. 

I love these things and just looking at them makes me want more. 

Galaxy Burgers Fish and Chips Dinner

Galaxy Burgers Fish and Chips Dinner is your basic bread crumb fish with fries, onion rings, rice pilaf, and a roll. My advice is to leave the rice for last because it will store the longest. 

In any case, this is different as most fish n' chips uses battered fish. It's of good quality and for folks like me who love this kind of food very very satisfying. I only wish I didn't have to try other stuff so I could have more of this. 

Pioneer Cafe Grilled Salmon Dinner

Pioneer Cafe Grilled Salmon Dinner tastes a little fishy. It being fish I guess that's right. There are a lot of things that taste fishy in Glendale now that I think of it. 

In any case, this is rather basic, good for you, and boring.

Pioneer Cafe Grilled Chicken Breast Dinner

The Grilled Chicken Breast Dinner at Pioneer Cafe in Glendale is one of those things that are just kind of a thing. It's a good amount of chicken, the vegetables are bland, an the potatoes are an option. 

All and all, not bad but not the best thing on the menu. 

Pioneer Cafe Fried Chicken Dinner

The true joy of fried chicken is that you can rip it apart getting at the bits of meat stuck to the bone. It's a dominance thing. As you can't do that at a restaurant I'm not sure why they sell fried chicken but Pioneer Cafe in Glendale will do room service for the Days Inn Glendale so that could be why. 

You get a lot of chicken in this meal. I mean, look at that! I found it so filling I had to take it easy afterward. 

Pioneer Cafe White Fish

The White Fish dinner at Pioneer Cafe in Glendale comes with your choice of soup. I just need to make that one clear. 

Now, out of the kitchen the white fish has an earthy flavor but once you add the lemon and a bit of pepper it becomes a truly enjoyable meal. I've been told the mushroom steak is the best thing on the menu, but this is the best I've had so far. 

I will say the gravy could have been a bit more seasoned, and there could have been more of it, but that white fish was totally killer. 

Betty Baker Macaroni and Cheese Dinner

Betty Baker thinks that Macaroni and Cheese should be someones Dinner. Where this is not as sad as pop-tarts for dinner it's still rather sad. 

This discount Mac and Cheese is not as good as the Kraft version that I grew up with. It's thinner and not as satisfying. Is it a big deal? Na, but this is only worthy of buying if it's cheaper than the name brand.
