  1. This was quite good, although I didn't follow the recipe exactly. I used plain soy milk (which will make it creamier), 2 cups shredded cheese and added 2 Tbsp. low fat margarine.
     
  2. uummmm. Okay, i pretty much made it to the recipe and I didnt really like it...BUT i used whole wheat pasta and maybe that affected the taste. Overall, I pretty much wont be making again.
     
  3. It istn't creamy and smooth like higher-fat macaroni and cheese, but considering how lowfat it is, it's pretty darn good. I used lowfat cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. I used my immersion blender to blend the flour and milk together, since without butter, the two just don't combine well. I did add the parsley mentioned in step nine and some extra Dijon. Great if you're dieting and crave mac & cheese! Thanx for posting.
     
  4. All-in-all, it wasn't bad, but it definately wasn't great. I could certainly tell that it was low fat and kind of had a grainy texture. Perhaps my cheese didn't melt into the sauce properly. It was quick and easy to make, which is a plus. All things considered, I'll give it 4 stars.
     
  5. While this recipe does not result in Mac n cheese like "Grammaw" made, hers was not as heart friendly as this one. And, fairly low sodium, too. An easy recipe to use, simple ingredients, and a delicious side dish. Thanks so much, Mickey for posting this recipe for us "fat and Sodium" watchers.
