CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI MORNAY
DH requested a change from steaming the broccoli and cauliflower and suggested a cheese sauce. The following is what was created. As I didn't measure the ingredients except for the milk for the cheese sauce I have approximated what I used. When making sauce use a whisk. UPDATE - please feel free to incorporate other vegies we have included carrot and or mushrooms and if wanting a one pot meal some cooked shredded chicken also goes well.
