"The more kids you have, the more you realize that convenience is key to a successful day. @annieshomegrown (#Ad) paired with inspo from @thefeedfeed makes my life so much easier as a mom! My kiddos love mac n cheese and they love cheese crackers, so I decided to throw those two together with a little locally raised beef to make this wonderful Baked Hamburger Mac n' Cheese: https://ff.recipes/Hamburger-mac-cheese What I love most about Annie's is that they are a 30 year old brand that has 0 added sugar, is certified organic and has so many different options for anyone who is vegan or gluten free! So no matter the company you hold in your home, you will be able to make lasting memories around the table with Annie's!
