This was very yummy. I did the reduced fat cream cheese (neufchatel) and did my own chives and onions. I also did half potatoes and half cauliflower. It was delicious and creamy, and I will make it again. My boyfriend enjoyed it too, and didn't know there was any cauliflower in there until I told him.
