My kids go crazy for this really healthy, simple and fun snack or dinner dish. There is always a fight for the last carrot!

3. Remove from heat. Slowly add milk, whisking constantly, until mixture is smooth. Return to heat.
4. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until sauce comes to the boil, thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon.

6. Lightly boil veggies that are easy for little hands to hold like carrot sticks, broccoli, cauliflower and beans, and serve with little pots of the cheesy sauce on each plate for dipping!
