I told you yesterday that I'd get back to the healthy stuff soon, well, I have the perfect thing! Rich, creamy, cheesy goodness, that was another hit at Andrew's birthday dinner!
But wait, Sarah, don't you have something to sumbit for Cate's ARF / 5-A-Day event?? Cheese doesn't fit into that at all!!!
Well, have no fear, this is a low fat, high calcium, vitamin filled (112.7 % of the RDA of Vitamin C!) side dish - one I would gladly eat as a meal unto itself! Herbs, spices, and a heady dose of Dijon mustard make themselves at home with a thick and rich (low-fat!) Cheddar cheese sauce fortified with skim milk powder for extra richness.
