    Used Broccoli & Cheese instead of the mixed veggies; low-fat shredded mozzarella instead of cheddar; and 1/2 tsp powdered mustard instead of Dijon. It was a bit bland but it did hit the creamy mac n cheese spot! Of course, if I used cheddar it probably would have helped. - 1/11/13

    The adults liked it more than the children. I'll have to cut the cauliflower up into smaller pieces. - 3/2/13
