I have a confession to make...I might have made this confession before, but I will say it again.  We rarely eat vegetables.  You would think since I am a mom, I would make sure we eat them, but I just hardly ever make them.  My kids do like raw vegetables, like carrots & broccoli dipped in ranch or hummus.  We occasionally have vegetables like that for lunch with our sandwiches, but vegetables every night with dinner hardly ever happens.  I need to get better at it.  I really do like vegetables, way more than I did growing up, so I don't know why I skip it.  

Anyway, we made this Roasted Cauliflower Au Gratin for dinner one night with some grilled chicken & they were absolutely incredible.  I think roasting them paired with the cheese sauce made them extra desirable.  This is another recipe made easy with Shirley J Whisk Bliss.  I love it!  Whisk Bliss dissolves easily in water & all you have to do is boil it to thicken it up.  I over guessed how much sauce we would need for this recipe so it's quite saucy in the pictures, but I adjusted the recipe for you all.

Roasted Cauliflower Au Gratin

Recipe altered from The Shiksa in the Kitchen by: Amber (Dessert Now, Dinner Later!)

• 2 1/2 lbs fresh cauliflower
• 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp minced garlic (I prefer to use Gourmet Garden Chunky Garlic)
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 6 Tbsp Shirley J Whisk Bliss
• 2/3 cup mild cheddar cheese plus 3 Tbsp for the topping
• 3 Tbsp panko bread crumbs

1. Wash & cut florets off the stem of the cauliflower.  Combine melted butter, minced garlic, salt & pepper in a bowl.  Toss florets in the butter mixture & spread out on a foil lined baking sheet.  
2. Bake at 425*F for 10 minutes.  Stir/toss cauliflower & cook 15 minutes more until browned & roasted.
3. In a saucepan on the stove top whisk water & Shirley J Whisk Bliss.  Bring to a boil & add 2/3 cup mild cheddar cheese.  Stir until melted.
4. Spray a 8" or 9" square baking dish with pan spray.  Add roasted cauliflower & top with cheese sauce.  Then sprinkle with 3 Tbsp each of mild cheddar cheese & panko bread crumbs.  
5. Place in the oven & BROIL for 3-4 minutes until browned & bubbling on top.
