This $3.99 Target Find Is My Family's New Favorite—It's So Good
Like many families with kids, mine consumes a lot of mac and cheese. It's one of those pantry staples that always saves the day when schedules are packed and hunger strikes fast. Since I didn't grow up with boxed mac and cheese (the quick-fix meal of my childhood was frozen dumplings), I didn't have an affinity or nostalgia for a specific brand. So over the years, I've tried many different flavors and styles, from the iconic blue-boxed Kraft to the house brands at my favorite grocery stores.
For the longest time, Annie's was my household's default boxed mac. That is, until we discovered Goodles. Fellow Simply Recipes contributor Stephanie Ganz has already shared how much her family loves Goodles mac and cheese, and I couldn't agree more. Last year, Goodles launched a new "deluxe" version that takes things to the next level. It's become my family's new favorite and, at just $3.99, it's an affordable and delicious game-changer.Price: $3.99 for one 9-ounce box at Target
Why I Love It: It's even more convenient than the powdered cheese version, and it comes in a larger size, which means one box can feed my family of three with enough leftovers for my son's lunchbox the next day.The convenience of Goodles squeezy cheese mac is unbeatable—yes, even more so than the original. Unlike the powdered version, which requires milk (and butter if you want it extra rich), the deluxe version comes with a ready-to-use packet of cheese sauce. All you have to do is cook the pasta, squeeze in the sauce, and stir, making an already fast meal even faster.
Another huge plus is the generous serving size. The deluxe box contains nine ounces of mac and cheese, compared to the usual six ounces of Goodles' powdered mac and cheese. For our family of three, that means there's always enough left over for filling my son's lunchbox the next day.
Then there's the texture and taste. Goodles squeezy cheese mac is noticeably creamier than the powdered version, which further enhances the cheese flavor. It has a smooth, velvety consistency that makes it more indulgent and rich. My son loves it, of course, and so do the adults at the table.
The only downside of the newer line is that there are currently only two options to choose from. Whereas the original macs come in several shapes and flavors, including ones with gluten-free noodles, the squeezy cheese version is only available in "Ched Over Heels" (a mild cheddar sauce over shells) and "Shell We Dance" (an aged white cheddar sauce over shells).
I'm watching for new flavors, but until then, you'll find me dropping boxes of both flavors of the new Goodles Mac and Cheese With Liquid Sauce into my grocery cart.

Patriots' Robert Kraft expresses concerns over failures to call antisemitic attacks for what they are
New England Patriots team owner Robert Kraft expressed concerns on Tuesday with the media and political leaders for failing to call attacks on Jewish people antisemitism. Kraft pointed the discourse around three events that have occurred over the last few months – an arson attack on Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro's home, the killings of two Israeli Embassy workers outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., and the attack in Colorado on those rallying in support of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. "I'll just tell you that there's been three events that have happened that have really shook me up," he told CNN's Kaitlin Collins. "What happened to Governor Shapiro in Pennsylvania, what happened out in D.C. with a couple of young people who were just employees of the embassy in Washington, and then what happened in Boulder … and people are afraid to call it what it really is. That gentleman you just had on, he called it antisemitism right from the start. "And I'm very concerned that our political leaders and other people in the news area don't report it as blatant antisemitism. We've let this go on, and it's happened at college campuses now for quite a long time, and we need people to speak up and call it for what it is." The Boulder, Colorado, attack on Sunday was another sign of rising antisemitic attacks in the U.S. since the start of 2025. The FBI described it as a "targeted terror attack." However, it was far from the only questionable incident over the weekend. A commencement speaker accused the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) of being part of wiping "Palestine from the face of the Earth," leading multiple students to walk out. Megha M. Vemuri, MIT's 2025 class president, praised her classmates for protesting against Israel in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attacks and the ensuing Gaza War. The comments drew a mix of boos and cheers from the crowd. An antisemitic incident also occurred at a Barstool Sports bar in Philadelphia last month. Kraft has been among those combating antisemitism since before the Oct. 7 terror attacks. He started the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism in 2019.

Nearly 1 in 5 NYC students are Asian American. Just 8% of teachers are.
For her first few years in New York City's public school system, Kai Kraft thought she was "the only Asian kid in the Bronx." Through elementary and middle school, she had teachers from diverse backgrounds — but none who identified as Asian American or Pacific Islander. And as a result, Kraft, who is Filipino American, often didn't feel comfortable confiding in her teachers when she experienced discrimination from her peers. "I let a lot of casual racism slide, even until middle school, because I didn't have anyone to look up to or tell me that it was wrong," Kraft told Chalkbeat. "I just had to endure it." Today, Kraft is a high school senior at the Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics. Since transitioning to high school in Manhattan and joining the Asian American Student Advocacy Project, a program run by the Coalition for Asian American Children and Families, she has found other Filipino and Asian American students among her peers. But Kraft has encountered relatively few Asian American or Pacific Islander teachers — and none who identify as Filipino American. "I still struggle to find teachers that I can relate to," she said. There's evidence that employing teachers of color can result in improved test scores and graduation rates among students of color, while also being associated with lower rates of chronic absenteeism and suspension, according to a 2019 report from the state's Education Department. Staffers who share the specific racial or ethnic background of their students may be better able to forge connections that benefit kids academically and emotionally, educators, researchers, and students said. But as the Asian American share of New York City's student population has continued to grow, the percentage of Asian American educators has lagged far behind. (City data does not provide specific numbers for students who identify as Pacific Islander.) Nearly 1 in 5 students in New York City identified as Asian American during the last school year, while roughly 8% of the city's teachers did. The gap is even wider for school administrators: Just 5% of principals in New York City are Asian American. Those numbers are up modestly from a decade ago, when 6% of city teachers and 3% of principals identified as Asian American, according to the Education Department. Fewer than 1% of teachers identified as Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander last school year, Education Department officials said. Just a quarter of the city's nearly 1,600 public schools had five or more Asian American teachers during the 2022-2023 school year — by far the lowest percentage for any of the four largest racial groups. Fifty-five percent of schools had at least five Black teachers, 60% had at least five Hispanic teachers, and 91% had five or more white teachers, a Chalkbeat analysis found. New York City's gulf reflects national trends, with about 5% of the country's students and 2% of its teachers identifying as Asian American or Pacific Islander in the 2020-21 school year. May Hara, a professor of teacher education at Framingham State University in Massachusetts and former New York City teacher who taught in the South Bronx, said the demographic gap can hold "serious implications for students." "The research is very clear," she said. "There are a wide range of benefits to having a racially and ethnically diverse teaching staff." Those benefits extend to both students and teachers, Hara added. The city Education Department is pushing to give all students "access to teachers who reflect their background and community experiences" and "equip our schools with resources that support inclusive recruitment and hiring practices," said spokesperson Onika Richards. She pointed to several programs including NYC Men Teach and NYC Teaching Fellows that offer alternative pathways into the teaching profession and additional support, and have been successful at recruiting teachers of color. The city's ongoing efforts come at a moment when teacher diversity initiatives are under attack at the federal level. President Donald Trump's administration has warned districts that efforts to recruit teachers of specific racial backgrounds could face civil rights investigations, though experts have challenged the legality of the guidance. In high school, Kraft said she's been able to connect with Asian American educators for the first time. She noted her health teacher, who is Chinese, sometimes speaks Tagalog with her at school, helping to make her feel more welcome. "Even though they aren't Filipino … I just feel more comfortable," she said. "I don't feel as alone as before." Asian American educators can play a critical role in breaking through harmful stereotypes and relating to Asian American families and students in ways other adults may not, teachers and students said. Jakoub Chen, an 11th grader at Curtis High School in Staten Island, still has yet to have an Asian American teacher in the public school system. Chen, who is Chinese and Taiwanese American, said he's at times felt impacted by the "model minority myth" — a harmful stereotype that depicts Asian Americans as inherently successful, often in comparison to other minority groups. Over the years, Chen said he's encountered peers who assume they can turn to him to get answers on their assignments in math or science classes. "I didn't really have someone that I can talk to about what I've been going through and what I've been affected by," he said. "I don't have a teacher or an adult I can share my experiences with." Bobson Wong, a math teacher at Bayside High School in Queens, said he has encountered harmful assumptions based on the model minority myth during his time as an educator. Some people, for example, have assumed that when Asian American students struggle in class, it stems from laziness. "When you say that an Asian kid is lazy, the subtext is they know it, they just choose not to do it," he said. "Maybe they just don't know how to do it because no one taught them." Wong, who is Chinese American, noted his school has a significant number of Asian American students, with nearly half of the student body identifying as Asian American. Still, in his time as a public school teacher, he's seen relatively few other Asian American teachers. "I do find that they are able to identify with me more easily," he said. Yeou-Jey Vasconcelos, a long-time former teacher and administrator in the city Education Department who now leads a charter school, began her career as a teacher and assistant principal at Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Manhattan — where she worked on new ways to engage the school's many Chinese-speaking families. Vasconcelos found that many of her colleagues assumed that Asian families were not getting involved with school because they were too busy, uninterested, or only wanted to hear about academic issues rather than behavioral or emotional ones. But as Vasconcelos, whose family is from Taiwan and Japan, began communicating with families in Chinese and building relationships, she discovered that they were eager to get more involved in all aspects of their kids' school experiences. "The Chinese-speaking families would just say, 'I want what's best for my kid, and I just want them to be happy. I don't need them to get the perfect grade,'" Vasconcelos recalled. It was "a very different outcome than what was culturally expected." That special connection persisted when Vasconcelos became principal of Manhattan's LaGuardia High School, the city's highest-profile performing arts school, where 21% of students are Asian American. On her first day in the school, a line of Asian American students formed outside her office, eager to meet her, talk about their family backgrounds, and discover commonalities, she said. Despite her efforts to break through stereotypes about her Asian American students and families, Vasconcelos herself faced some of those same stereotypes from colleagues and families — particularly as a principal. There were "all different layers of microaggression," ranging from people assuming that she was not the person in charge or didn't speak fluent English, to colleagues who attempted to compliment her by calling her "Tiger principal," a reference to the strict version of parenting popularized in a 2014 book by an Asian American law professor, Vasconcelos said. When it comes to recruiting and retaining more Asian American and Pacific Islander teachers, Hara noted, it's critically important to consider the "huge heterogeneity in Asian American populations" and tailor efforts to recruit and retain Asian American educators to those specific backgrounds. "That, I think, is something that is often overlooked in conversations about this," she said. "In popular culture, there is not a lot that points to the socioeconomic, educational, and wealth gaps that exist within Asian American groups in this country." "The unsatisfying answer" to recruiting and keeping more Asian American educators "is that we really need to begin by asking people about their experiences and not assuming that we know, or that they all share the same experiences," Hara said. Several Asian American educators in New York City said the challenge often begins with not seeing or hearing about education as a viable career path growing up. "No one that I grew up with who were Filipino or any other type of Asian went into the field," said Nico Victorino, a former New York City teacher and current principal of P.S. 150 in Manhattan, who is the son of Filipino immigrants. "The expectations at home at the time were you were going to go into a field that was going to make money, because you have to support your family back in the Philippines and care for your parents when they get older." The pipeline narrowed even further when Victorino began considering the switch from classroom teacher to administrator. He had "no role models" of other Asian American school administrators, "no one to support you in that way." When he eventually landed his job as principal, Victorino developed a close relationship with the other Asian American administrators in his district, and they still share a group text thread. He even went on to write his doctoral dissertation at New York University about the lack of Asian American school administrators. For Wong, it's been a challenge at times to work in a field with so few Asian American colleagues. He said he's found community by connecting with Asian American educators online and through Math for America, a fellowship for math and science teachers. "When you look at why teachers are leaving, they feel overwhelmed or they feel unsupported — it all boils down to a lack of community," he said. "To not just to attract more Asian American teachers, but also to retain them, we need better communities to support them." To Hara, developing systems and policies that allow more Asian American and Pacific Islander teachers to flourish can also have compounding benefits for the teacher pipeline — with students who see themselves reflected in their educators potentially being more inclined to enter the field in the future. "That's just a hypothesis," Hara said. "But it's not as though Asian American teachers appear out of nowhere. They were once Asian American students."

If my dinner is boring or seems like it needs a little extra "oomph" to it, I'll throw in an egg from this, too. Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume and sing a little song instead!"

I like this gadget so much that I bought one for my father-in-law. It has VERY sharp little teeth, which is great for cleaning out the insides of the peppers, but BE CAREFUL.

A marble board wire cheese cutter for effortlessly slicing through cheese with precision — and when you're not using it, it'll just sit pretty on your counter, adding a touch of style to your kitchen. It's not dishwasher safe, but thankfully it's super easy to hand wash! Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action. Promising review:"Great and looks nice on the kitchen counter.

My daughters liked it so much that I just bought two more for Christmas gifts." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $17.64 (available in two colors and with two or three wires). 20. A silicone baking mat so you don't have to break your arm scrubbing off the residue after your single-pan meal.

Promising review: "I bought these two years ago and have loved using them. So, so easy to clean, things do not stick, and they fit my two cookie sheets perfectly. I'm giving these to some of my baking friends as Christmas gifts. I wish they were available in cake and brownie pan sizes. Mine show no wear after two years if very heavy use." — Kate Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two styles and larger packs). 21. A Mason jar-esque cold brew coffee maker because let's face it — this economy can't support daily iced coffee runs anymore. It's got a leak-proof lid that's easy to pour from and a mesh filter that keeps you from chewing your coffee. Just a heads up: Don't add boiling water! All you do is fill the filter with your favorite coffee grounds, add some cold water, and let it steep! Promising review: "Smooth coffee. This is the best way to have coffee without the acid and still have the caffeine. Easy to use and so much cheaper than buying cold brew coffee. I have bought several over the years for friends.

A set of magnetic fridge spice organizers if you're in desperate need of more cabinet space or keep forgetting what spices you have because they're always getting lost in the back of the cupboard. No need to worry about them falling off — they're designed with heavy-duty magnets, and reviewers attest to how securely they stay in place! Promising review: "I ordered a set of four and use them on my fridge and the side of my washing machine. I was just expecting to put a few spices in them to unclog my spice cabinet but the magnet on these shelves are good enough, I use one to store canned kitty food. I l oved them so much I bought two more sets of four to give as gifts. The lucky two that got these as gifts from me have let me know that they love these shelves themselves." — MissT Get a two-pack from Amazon for $21.99 (available in 19 colors and packs of four or six). 23. A brownie dividing pan for the people who love a little bit of everything. This allows you to make different flavored brownies in each compartment and makes it *so* much easier to have perfect, symmetrical pieces. Emma says she's obsessed with this pan: " I make those gooey three-layer brownies that are cookie dough on the bottom, Oreos in the middle, and either brownie or Nutella on top, and I famously underbake them because salmonella doesn't apply to me. Which is to say, usually when I make these it's a big gooey mess and my friends have to dig in with a spoon and it's less inviting for guests to take one. With this tray, it was SO easy to put the batter in, stick the divider on top, and bake individual small bars. it was completely nonstick, and it was easy to pull the divider out once everything was cooked. The uniform brownies were a huge hit at a party!" Promising review: "I didn't have high hopes because these things are never as spectacular as they are advertised to be, but the price was right. I was so pleased with it, my baked goods come out perfect and it's so easy to clean. I bought several more as gifts!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 24.

Good to use in garlic mashed potatoes or as a spread on crackers or crusty bread. I soak the lid in water for 10 minutes which makes the garlic stay moist.
