A Good Gluten Free Mac and Cheese

It took me forever, but I have finally found a good gluten free Mac and cheese.  I have tried many of the varieties, I found myself underwhelmed by almost all of them (Annie’s, Glutino, ECT.)  However, I found the one good version in the last place I expected.  The one good version of box Mac and cheese that I have found is Trader Joe's brand.  Yep really, Trader Joe's managed to make a great Mac and Cheese.  If you are comparing it to craft it is a little less sweet then the Kraft brand.  However, it is the best version I have found and the noodles feel right.  All of you who have been gluten free know what I am talking about.  Most of the time the noodles have the wrong texture and it doesn't matter what you do to them.  These noodles are pretty close.  My gluten eating family really likes it and that is the best testimonial I can give to this product.
