We eat a lot of leeks in The Netherlands, often with a cheese sauce. That is what I used this sauce for. Not so keen on smoked Gouda cheese on its own but in this sauce it was really good. I used hot smoked paprika and some more nutmeg then stated in the recipe.

I was born and raised in Boston and continue to live here still. I met my hubby in 1986 and we've been together ever since. We have two children and my family is my passion.
Pet peeves? Rudeness, laziness, greed, hatred, and bad manners of any kind. And for some reason, I can't stand listening to someone whistle!
