  • 3 TBSP milk

YUM! Pumpkins, macaroni and cheese and little hands – it’s a winning fall combo to me! Organic is for “every bunny.” Organic doesn’t have to be complicated or out of reach for your family.

Annie’s certified organic products make it easy to enjoy family meals how they should be, simple and delicious. Annie’s Homegrown strives to achieve “Yum for All” – it’s a motto that I can stand behind.

    If you ask my grandkids what they’d like to eat, 9 times out of 10, it’ll have something to do with cheese. Cheese Sticks, grilled cheese sandwiches, cheese popcorn, etc.
    I pinned this so I can surprise them with making another cheese treat ?
