Cauliflower Mac and Cheese Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
Some of my family members are on the keto diet. My brother showed me how to make this macaroni and cheese substitute and I put my own spin on it. Now we eat this at least two to three times a month. Sometimes we even add broccoli! Bacon, cauliflower, broccoli, cheese. What's better than that? MetalMari -

We're on a "health" kick with the new year, so weaning the children of pasta is safer than cold turkey. Be sure to season with salt, pepper. And feel free to substitute any cheese preference. My kids won't touch anything but cheddar. :) iricarodriguez -

Cauliflower "Mac" and Cheese (Keto friendly) Cauliflower "Mac" and Cheese (Keto friendly)
Playing around with more low carb dinner options as I dive deeper into my dietary transition.Many of my dishes will be labeled as "keto friendly" since, even though I am not full-blown keto, my sisters are eating keto and I share recipes with them. If a recipe is not fully keto it can be modified to better meet the keto qualifications. For instance, this recipe can use 1 cup cream instead of 1/2 cream, 1/2 milk to lower the carbs further.

Macaroni and Cheese Macaroni and Cheese
I grew up eating a certain boxed mac and cheese. Never real homemade macaroni. I didn't understand what the big deal was until I tasted my former mother in-law's. Hers was AMAZING! I have been trying for years to get mine to be somewhere close to hers but to no avail. So I decided to ask around (couldn't ask my ex mother in-law) and after many holidays of trying different combinations, I think we've found the winning recipe! My family loved it so much this past Thanksgiving I had to make another pan of it today (3 days after thanksgiving!) I hope everyone else likes it too Beth -
