Ok...so i finally made some for supper last night...tell you the truth i was impress cause it does taste a lot like the real thing ...also its not as starcy to taste...i had it with alfredo classico and added parmesan cheese in it with a bit of olive oil...this morning i went on the scale and up 2lbs ...but thats me...i can go up and down 2lbs...at least the inches are going bit by bit...its ok with me...
