In a glass dish steam a head of chopped cauliflower in the microwave until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain off water.

On the stove, heat and stir:
1/2 stick of butter or less
2 cups milk
salt & pepper to taste
dash of nutmeg

When bubbles begin to form, stir in a heaping spoon of corn starch that has been dissolved in a little milk or water.  Bring to a boil for 1 minute stirring constantly. Pour over cauliflower. Mixture will thicken as it cools.  Top with cheddar cheese placing the lid on top to help it melt quickly.

There is enough sauce to cover more cauliflower if you have extra company.  You can also add in some chopped broccoli to change it up.

1 large can Trappey’s sweet potatoes in heavy syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
pat of butter
a little cinnamon

Cook on the stove until it thickens.  You may want to take the potatoes out to cook down the syrup to prevent them from getting mushy.
