Cauliflower with cheese sauce.
I rarely measure with this dish so I am linking a recipe. I don't use Thyme and many times I just use milk, flour, butter,Velveeta, tbsp. of parmesan and pepper it well for the sauce and I like the cauliflower NOT crisp and NOT mushy.
Here is the recipe. Cheese Sauce Over Cauliflower Recipe | Taste of Home People rave about expensive steak, but lovely fresh vegetables and fruits occupying the other side of the plate can be so yummy. I love fresh cauliflower with cheese sauce with a lovely meat loaf and a tossed salad with a dressing that has a hint of sweetness. Gracie from Ohio with excellent taste buds.

Roasted everything!
We love roasted asparagus, brussel sprouts, broccoli, summer squash, zucchini, and carrots. Just toss a bit of olive oil or coconut oil with coarse salt and pepper in a zip bag and then spread on a cookie sheet at 425 until just fork tender (depends on what veggie you're doing) 10-25min.

I do not like vegetables but the bigger the steak the better!

For the green beans, I put some minced garlic, salt, pepper, shaved onion, & afterwards top with toasted pine nuts. I do not like oven-roasted vegetables that are brought to the "browned" stage. Food bloggers call this nutty and good; I call it burnt. But roasting just to the tender stage is our favorite.

I like carrots boiled until tender than baked slowly with butter, honey and a little brown sugar.

I think Cabots makes the best "grocery store" cheddar now. It used to be Cracker Barrel was the best, but their cheese is now shiny and lacks the crisp consistency of a good cheddar. I don't know what they did to it, but we noticed it a few years ago and stopped purchasing it.

Splurge on the pricier one that they have. No gumminess at all and a great tasting cheddar. I just wish they made it in the same square shape as Cracker Barrel, which fits perfectly on a Triscuit!

However, the thought of Velveeta in a recipe makes me gag.

We slice whole cauliflower in 1” slices. Spray with olive oil (have sprayer that dispenses 1/4 teaspoon easier than brushing) and throw on the grill.
By grilling the steak size cauliflower you get the tenderness you desire, crisp edges, smoky flavor and for those meatless mondays you still can use a knife. Put it on top of homemade pasta and it’s a great meal. You can do this with broccoli, but does not stay intact as cauliflower. We rarely use processed food, so cheese sauce is out for us.

Velveeta.
Velveeta has been a part of American diets since 1928. Known for it's meltability, my family has used it as long as I can remember. I am very much against food snobbery. This was probably because I was born right after the depression and was a little girl during the second world war when food was rationed. I also was expected to eat what was put in front of me and like most girl teens of that era I was given cooking and sewing classes in school. My sewing skills aren't too hot, but I am a halfway decent cook and I still use Velveeta. Velveeta Cheese Nutritional Facts | LIVESTRONG.COM

We still have our meat raised, grow own veggies. Processed food was never on our table, and I don’t know any other way. Our cheese, butter, yogurt made in our kitchen. It’s a lifestyle.
