For the Dinner date, I found a wonderful recipe for Cauliflower Mac and Cheese. I added nutmeg and thought the baking time could be as much as 45 minutes.
Preheat oven 375F
6-8 c cauliflower chopped into 1 inch pieces. (I used 1 1/2 heads of cauliflower), enough to fill a 9 x 13" baking dish
2 tbs butter
3 tbs flour
2 c whole milk
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 c shredded cheddar cheese (8 oz)
Fill a microwave safe bowl with 1 inch of water. Add cauliflower to bowl and microwave 8 mins on high. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan melt butter
stir in flour for about 3 mins
Gradually whisk until mixture thickens
Remove from heat, add salt pepper nutmeg garlic powder. Stir in shredded cheese until melted and completely incorporated
Stir in cauliflower, transfer to 9x 13" baking dish lined with parchment paper
Bake 25-45 mins until cheese is bubbly and begins to brown.

Looks yummy, Christine! I always like to a dash of nutmeg to my cheesy dishes. Loved your whale. I hope to see some on the Bay of Fundy when I go home to Nova Scotia this summer.
Lovely art.
Cauliflower Mac and Cheese makes a great lower carb dish.
All the best Jan
Playing catch up here, Christine, I love the whale. I have seen this exact view while whale watching off the coast of southern California.
I love cauliflower. This sounds great. I may try this recipe one of these days. Not while it's so hot, like it is here, though.
