    As a Food Engineer, I would always prefer prepared foods/meals that are frozen over those at normal temperatures but typically contain preservatives. Because subzero temperatures are sufficient to preserve foods from bacterial contamination. There is no need to add a ton of chemicals to make them last longer.

    There are times when I am really busy and to be honest ready-to-eat mac’n cheese is my favorite comfort food (and savior, too!). When I plan on eating mac’n cheese, I ensure to balance my diet by incorporating tons of fresh and nutrient-dense veggies in my Food Plate. This way, I can enjoy my favorite macaroni and cheese while accommodating those busy schedules.
