I scaled this recipe down to 2 servings. The veg came out mush and the sauce a solid paste. I probably should have adjusted the time for the smaller quantity. How long would you suggest?

I really just wanted to try the sauce found in this recipe. I steamed the vegetables to crisp-tender and made the sauce on the stovetop as well. That was as quick (if not quicker) than microwaving--less than ten minutes. Making the sauce is easy and gave ordinary vegetables added zip. The dijon mustard imparts a complementary mild flavor--a refreshing change from usual cheese sauces. Thanks, Chilicat, for an uncomplicated and quick sidedish! -
I'm sorry to give a low review but our family just did not like this dish. The sauce came out bland and our kids didn't want to eat it. I even used extra mustard and thought that maybe it would become bolder after I cooked it, but it didn't really help much. Maybe it just depends on the Dijon mustard, but I don't think we will be making it again. -
Very delicious and easy- I love the sauce! Thanks! -
This was so fast and so easy to prepare!! Used low-fat milk and a bit more Dijon mustard. The sauce came out perfect and quite tasty! Thanks Chilicat! -
I have to say that this wasn't really my taste. I wasn't a fan of the sauce. BUT, my 2.5 year-old who NEVER eats her vegetables asked for not two, but three more servings! In fact, the cauliflower was her favorite part. For that, you get 5 stars in my book any day. Also, my DH gobbled it up.

Both places are beautiful in their own way, although Arizona is where I learned that the little marshmallows in the Lucky Charms box are actually supposed to be crisp and crunchy, not gummy and all stuck together. What a revelation!
