Grandma's Mac n' Cheese

My grandma's not overly fond of nutritious eating - especially vegetables - but she loves cheese. Taking a leaf out of many "kid food" author's books, I pureed a bunch of cauliflower and tofu into the three-cheese sauce before stirring in brown rice fusilli and baking individual portions with a topping of GF breadcrumbs. She's none the wiser, and claims that the meals are delicious!
