I really liked this recipe. I substituted fat free greek yogurt for the sour cream and i tripled the veggies...the original recipe served 6 large servings. My additions created 12 and cut the calories almost in half. I will make this again! - 10/18/11

I found this same recipe on the cooking channel website. I made it for my family a few days ago. They LOVED it, but I couldn't eat even half of it. It tasted terrible to me. I ate all the broccoli and cauliflower but the sauce didn't taste good to me. I forgot the dijon, maybe that helps the taste. - 11/12/10
