"My 4-year-old son referred to it as 'the phenomenal noodle salad' and kept offering additional helpings to everyone at the table! I will definitely be making this again. :-)"

"Cooking for my family had become a chore. I was basically in a rut until I came across your site via the OCA. I have actually began enjoying cooking again. My kids are now even trying simple recipes on their own. I feel such a sense of satisfaction knowing I am preparing food that's nourishing and delicious. I have learned so much. Thank you, thank you :)"
-Kaylla
"I must tell you what an inspiration your blog and videos have been to me....and my kids. We love watching you and learning great tips."

"I have been cooking more. I made some really good fried tofu, delicious soba noodles, Bok Choy (from the collard greens vid), Blanched red cabbage, fried rice, some thing else I can't remember, and almost every day for breakfast I eat either quinoa or steel cut oats. Not only that my knowledge on food has increased 10 fold. All thanks to you. xo"

"Besides providing amazing how-to recipes on whole, organic foods, you weave a gentle little funny-family story-line throughout that always leaves me wanting more. I forward your site to friends with the spoiler, "pssst, bet you can't watch just one!" There's just nothing like your program anywhere!"
Lynne Lillie

Broccoli, Cauliflower and Carrots in Cheddar Cheese SauceThe Joy of Cooking (Rombauer, Bobbs-Merrill Co., 1975 ed.) is my friend for life. Basics and adaptations of basics (like this) make invention easy.
2 tablespoons butter
1-2 tablespoons whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup milk
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
½ teaspoon sea salt
Blanched Vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add flour and stir with a whisk for a few minutes. Slowly add the milk stirring constantly. Continue stirring until sauce has thickened. When it is smooth add cheese and salt. Stir until cheese is melted. Pour over blanched broccoli, cauliflower and carrots and mix gently. Serve immediately.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Makes about 2 cups |

As an addendum, I have recently learned that whole wheat flour keeps best in the refrigerator. Who knew!?

Be sure to use whole wheat PASTRY flour. Whole wheat bread flour is darker, grainier and generally too course for a smooth sauce.

Thanks for the demo. I haven't had very good luck in making cheese sauce, so this video helps me want to try again. Now just have to get some ww pastry flour.

This sauce is delicious. I bought the WW Pastry flour per your recommendation for cookies a couple of months ago and have been using it for a ton of recipes. It is lighter and easier to work with. I made a healthier mac’n chesse w/whole wheat elbow macaroni, broccoli, cannelinni beans, and this sauce. Delicious!!! Thanks! :)
