My sister-in-law Stephanie brought this to a dinner, and it was very good–so I asked her to share the recipe. She sent me a photo from a newspaper, with the original recipe attributed to Michele Broadbent in Orem. It’s a great creamy, cheesy way to eat your vegetables.
And this one is naturally gluten free.
Make it a meal with:
- Roast Beef or Rosemary Rotisserie Chicken
- Green Salad or Fresh Fruit
Vegetables in a Cloud
