We've all been there. Cheap and easy. So which was your fave meal? Mac & Cheese or Ramen? Maybe for dinner or maybe it was that 2:00 a.m. snack. Admit it...you still like them.

Ooh, this is a tough one. Mac and cheese is tastier but ramen is cheaper and more versatile. I gave ramen the slight edge...oh, and even though I've been out of college for a while, I still have both in my pantry. :)

Versatility FTW. Also, with Ramen it's fair game to crunch the noodles up and eat as a snack. I don't see Mac & Cheese being nearly as delicious uncooked.

Ramen gets really old REALLY fast. Nastiness

Ramen is full of sodium and just tastes overly processed. Mac and Cheese isn't that great either, but tastes a little better and a bit less sodium. My husband used to eat ramen a lot before we were married. I stopped that. LOL

mac & cheese...lived on it in college....even better with extra cheese, and replacing the milk with..more butter!

My kids love Ramen noodles on cold days for after school snacks...I am not a fan of Ramen noodles at all. Everybody in house loves Mac-N-Cheese and if can't have baked we go for the Kraft :)
