I was disappointed with this recipe. The macaroni and cheese was not very flavorful and the texture was off. I won't be making this again.

This recipe is just okay. The macaroni and cheese was creamy and cheesy, but it was also a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not a fan of this recipe. The macaroni and cheese was too cheesy and the almond milk made it taste weird. I won't be making this again.

This recipe is a fail. The macaroni and cheese was bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right.
