I added some chopped broccoli to the mac and cheese and it was a great addition. It added some extra color and nutrients.

I'm not a fan of bacon, so I omitted it from the recipe. The mac and cheese was still delicious.

This recipe is way too complicated. I ended up giving up and ordering pizza instead.

I followed the recipe exactly and my mac and cheese turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to make it more flavorful.
