    O.K.
    kids usually love mac n cheese, but didn't really care for this. It could be that I added too much milk because I had to double the recipe. I will try again, but next time, use less milk

    I like to add homemade salsa ...lots of spices to it, but overall, I really like it....so does my family. - 8/9/11

    Yummy. I added 2 cups of mixed veggies, and 5 oz of chicken breast and was able to get 7 1-cup servings @ 193 calories. Filling. - 2/2/11

    It seemed a little thin to me (my family likes very thick creamy mac/cheese) so I thickened the sauce with a little bit of cornstarch. Otherwise it was very good. Will definitely make this again and again. - 4/15/09

    Some great low cal add ins for mac and cheese - grated carrots, red pepper, onion, dijon mustard, zucchini, low fat cottage cheese, spinach or arugula -- you can easily double your portion be more filled up. Don't forget whole wheat pasta! - 4/7/09

    I wish people would write the correct nutritional value. I made this 4 dinner and followed the recipe, This is the actual breakdown: Cal: 346.Carbs 38.Fat 12.Protein 21/serving. It was good, but not fantastic. I think the amount of cheese was over powering. I’d recommend using 4oz not 8oz. - 1/12/09

    I love mac and cheese. The boxed ones are so evil, especially when compared with the home made mac n cheese. I'd add a teaspoon of mustard to brighten it up a bit. - 1/7/09

    Does this really work? Even without all the fat? I am curious and excited to try...would love a healthy substitute for Mac & Cheese...what is the size of one serving? Usually with boxed it's a cup...THANKS! - 1/7/09

    Can anything be done to reduce the sodium content? I love Mac and Cheese, but 940mg sodium is a lot. - 1/7/09
