• Now, for those not on low carb here's one I saw on the Iron chef.
• Take some cheddar cheese gold fishes and put them on top and bake and the mac with the cheddar crunchy goldfishes comes out really good. They made a mac and cheese and used cheddar cheese goldfishes on top for crunch. I say it again but it was on iron chef and that's what they did. Incredible but very good and they got a good score, too
• I was surprised to see it!!!
