Thanks Netix, I was very proud of my effort and it tasted even better today for lunch. I always add heated milk to my mash so it makes sense to do it for the cheese sauce. I think I have a better understanding of how to do it for next time. I have no trouble getting the girls to eat carrot, peas and corn so I just gave them a side of vegies. I heard baby spinach leaves adds a nice flavour so might try that next time.
Thanks again for all the tips.
So far this week I have made every meal from scratch, yay me!
