I love a sneaky veggie & these are delicious!

Instructions
- In a large pot, add cauliflower, butternut squash and carrots and boil until they are all tender (check with fork)

- Un a sauce pan, add the puree mixture over medium-high heat. Also, add the milk that is left, the cubed cream cheese and the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Mix well and let it simmer until all cheese is melted.
Eat or Freeze
- I like to make a large batch of these and freeze into 1 cup molds. I pull a block out at a time when I need a quick, nutritious lunch.
- If you want to eat right away, boil some pasta and mix the sauce into the pasta once cooked
