Trader Joe's has justannounced that they're debutingapremade vegan macn' cheese in stores all over the country. While grocery shopping this weekend, I was lucky enough to snatch the lastcontainer from the refrigerated section in my local Trader Joe's. Let me tell you: This mac n' cheese is the closest thing I've tasted to the real thing.

Creamy and decadent, these cheezy shells even impressed my non-vegan boyfriend, which means they're not just delicious to someone whohasn't tasted "real" cheese in years, they'll be a crowd-pleaser all around.

During an office taste test, one sampler remarked that Trader Joes' mac is "actually better than the original kind since it tastes cleaner, lighter and actually healthier." Another said that "If you gave this to a toddler they would have no idea it wasnt cheese. For that matter, if you gave it to my husband or anyadult who loves Macn' cheese, they would be satisfied. This is a winner."
