Roasted Cauliflower Pumpkin Casserole

I saw a recipe on the Beachbody blog for a roasted cauliflower pumpkin casserole, and adapted it, so that is was safe for Alistaire (it had called for almond milk). You can use any unsweetened milk you prefer. I used 2% cheese as well (Alistaire can tolerate it), and used oil instead of non stick spray (I don’t buy it). If you are following the #21DayFix diet, this is friendly to it.
