salt and pepper to taste

2 T. butter

2 T. all-purpose flour

1 c. milk

1/2 c. sour cream

1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese

1 T. dry bread crumbs

Combine ham, cauliflower and mushrooms in an ungreased 3-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside. Melt butter in a saucepan; stir in flour and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened. Stir in sour cream and cheese; continue cooking until cheese has melted and sauce is smooth.

Serve up fresh veggies on seaside skewers...a whimsical summertime surprise. Purchase assorted shells from a crafts store; wash well, then glue onto wooden skewers. Slide on cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, mushrooms and cheese cubes along with a variety of sauces for dipping.
