In just under two weeks, one of the more underrated food holidays will be upon us. That holiday is National Mac and Cheese Day, which on July 14, recognizes the iconic pasta that puts a smile on faces everywhere. But who said that mac and cheese enthusiasts could only celebrate for one day of the month? Noodles & Company has an offer to keep the fun going all month with the return of Macapalooza.

Starting with rewards, the fast-casual chain is giving back to its members. The company is offering a $1 side Mac reward with a purchase of $15 or more, available once a day for the duration of the month. In addition, reward members will also receive double points on all mac and cheese orders.

If you think the celebration stops there, then you're wrong. Beginning tomorrow, the company will have four limited-time Macapalooza flavor combinations starting under $9 -- available exclusively for online purchase. The options are listed below and will be just $5 on National Mac and Cheese Day, per the brand's press release:

• 4-Cheese Alfredo Mac: Elbow macaroni noodles in a four-cheese blend alfredo sauce, topped with MontAmoré cheese.
