Some things are just a “win-win” situtuation.

*cue twilight zone music*

Imagine if you will being offered the opportunity to receive a years supply (that’s 50 boxes) of  Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.  Who wouldn’t jump at that? After all when you have a 5 (almost 6) year old and an 8 year old in the house, Macaroni and Cheese is pretty much our lifeblood around here!  Add to that the opportunity to help out one of my readers (who are all trying to save a buck while living better) by hosting a giveaway where someone wins their own 50 boxes of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.

And then, as if all of that weren’t enough, imagine that just for hosting the giveaway Kraft wouldl donate yet another 50 boxes to Feeding America*.  Wow, in these economic times I’m sure there are plenty of folks in need who would benefit from that!

But wait, there’s more! If a person were to use twitter, imagine that for every single tweet they did during the day with the #bluebox hashtag on the end of it, Kraft donated another box of Macaroni and Cheese to Feeding America, up to a total of 1 million boxes.  Wouldn’t that be a great way to help those in need without spending a dime yourself?

Well imagine no more-because that is in fact the opportunity I was offered by Kraft!

This giveaway runs from Tuesday July 14 until midnight, Eastern Standard Time on Monday July 20th.

So, how do you enter? Here are the rules.  Remember in order to be counted EACH ENTRY MUST BE A SEPARATE COMMENT.  Really folks, if you leave one comment and list 3 things you did, it only gets counted ONCE.

#1-Leave a comment here with how you like to eat your Macaroni and Cheese.  Yes, plain is an acceptable answer, but it is a heck of a lot more fun for the rest of us if you share some neat “dress it up” ideas!

#2-Head on over to the Share a Little Comfort website and click to have a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese donated to Feeding America. (feel free to print yourself a coupon while you are there) Come back and comment about it.

#3-Tweet about this contest using this link and hashtag: http://budurl.com/8tv8  #bluebox, then come back and comment.

#4-Once a DAY you can do an additional tweet using the #bluebox hashtag and get an additional entry. Of course you have to come tell me about it.

There you go, plenty of ways to enter.  Good luck to you all.

PS-Thanks to those of you who let me know about the broken link for Share a little comfort. It’s fixed now 🙂

*Note: Feeding America, formerly America’s Second Harvest, is the nation’s leading domestic hunger relief charity. Each year, the Feeding America network provides food assistance to more than 25 million low-income people facing hunger in the United States, securing and distributing more than 2 billion pounds of donated food and grocery products annually.

  2. I’m a Mac & Cheese purist. I like it prepared according to the directions on the box!

  4. My kids unfortunately for all you readers just like their mac and cheese plain, and we certainly eat enough of it around here!!

  5. One day at Trader Joe’s I saw them dressing up their boxed mac and cheese so I tried it. You just saute up some of the Yves Italian Veggie Sausage, dice it up and stir it in to your Kraft Mac & Cheese. It was so yummy!!!

  6. I do like mine plain…but if I put smoked sausage on the grill, I have to have mac & cheese with it. My daughter likes hot dogs in hers, too, yummy, thanks!

  15. Wow, that was easy to donate. I thought for sure I would have to fill out a form and register and blah blah blah, but it literally was just a click. So glad I went over to do it!

  16. I really do love my Mac plain, but sometimes I’ll add bacon. Once we had leftover spanish rice & I mixed it in and was fab!

  20. sauted onions, bits of ham and than sprinlke with hot sauce to taste when serving

  24. I’m boring — I like my mac & cheese plain. But I will ONLY eat Kraft mac & cheese. Everything else isn’t the same. =]

  26. A little mustard and hot sauce give the mac and cheese extra snap — I’ll add the usual tuna or hot dogs, chunked and sliced, too.

    thank you!

  27. just tweeted it agian…

  30. I love Mac and Cheese with stale crunched lays plain potato chips mixed in. Been a fav since I was a lad of 10. They have to be stale chips, not fresh. Give it a try. it’s better than it sounds. crunchy and gooey all in one.

  36. My daughter and I like to eat Mac-n-cheese with sliced hot dogs… my hubby loves it plain! Yummy reading the other ideas in the comments – ham! bacon! mmmmm… I’m thinking diced up tomatoes would be yummy too.

  37. I love Kraft Mac and Cheese with either froz broc or peas and tuna fish. It has been a staple for me since my single, college days. Enter me, please, in the contest. Thanks, and this contest is a really good one.

  38. Really, I will eat it almost any way I can, except I don’t like broccoli on it for some reason. Bacon, now that’s a welcome addition.

  40. I’d like to add some browned ground beef, and a can of diced tomatoes (maybe flavored, maybe not) Mix it up and bake it with some Velveeta on top! YUMMM

  41. In our house we either eat it plain, or with ketchup. We add extra chese when we reheat the leftovers. I have added it to broccoli soup to use the leftovers. yummy.

  43. I like to make mac and cheese into a taco casserole with taco seasoning, chopped red and green peppers and onions, a little ground beef, some tomatoes, green chiles, and whatever else I have on hand that seems taco-esque. My family loves it – perfect comfort food.

  45. I love it plain in a bowl and the next day it really tastes so good fried up in a little butter. Thank you

  48. I always add a teaspoon of butter, a little milk, and another slice of cheese to mine. It is one of my favorite comfort foods!

  49. Kraft Mac and Cheese is so much a staple in our house that it’s the first thing that each of my kids has learned to cook on their own.
