Anyone have a good recipe for a "lite" cheese sauce? My youngest daughter loves broccoli and cauliflower, but only with cheese sauce. Honestly I believe she will eat anything that has cheese sauce. I would like to find a sauce that I could feel good about her eating.

I make healthy cheese sauce with skim milk, white flour (just enough the thicken, about 1 T per 1/2 c flour) and whatever cheese I can "afford." First heat the milk and flour wisking constantly until thinkened. I add some salt and pepper and then mix in some cheese. Some days I use low fat cheddar, other days I have calories for the good stuff! I found this method in CL magazine. I am still stunned that there is no need to make a traditional rue and then add milk! This recipe has been worth the cost of the subscription!
If you need more exact amounts, let me know, I will pay attention next time I make it and post here.

If you are open minded, I suggest the uncheese cookbook by Joanne Stepaniak. She makes some delightful cheezy sauces from non-dairy products.

My mom used to make a cheese sauce for broccoli by warming skim milk and whisking in fat free kraft singles until melted.

You could blend some firm tofu with low fat cheese in a food processor.

When I'm not up to making a full blown cheese sauce, I just grated sharp cheddar over the hot veggies. If I'm making a full on cheese sauce, I whisk flour into skim milk in a medium sauce pan and let simmer until thickened to desired consistency. I add a couple of squirts of dijon mustard (I keep mine in a squirt bottle to make it easier for sandwiches), then some reduced fat sharp cheddar, and just a small amount of blue cheese (almost literally a pinch) to add some awesome flavor.

What if you just grated a little bit of cheese on top of the veggies while they were still hot? Then she'd get the flavor but would also still taste the veggies. You could try sharp cheddar, romano, parm., or any other cheese with lots of flavor.
