I am so making this for lunch on Saturday! Thanks for the low cal mac n cheese (I love mac n cheese, but don't wanna waste calories or fat on it!).0

Maybe a stupid question, but if I don't have dry mustard, could I use regular mustard, maybe just a different amount?0

I made this last night...DELICIOUS! I think I used too many carrots becuase the carrot flavor is pretty noticable, but it still tastes great. Also, I needed to add some garlic salt to mine as it was a little bland, but after that it was perfect. Thanks for sharing!0

I used this sauce and poured it on spaghetti squash instead of noodles, and didn't bake it. Absolutely delicious and only 45 calories for 1/4 cups of it! Thank you for the inspiration!0
