Cauliflower Mac

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?

Cauliflower, the iconic vegetable that stands in for all sorts of foods is featured here in a "mac" and cheese dish. Rich, creamy and so delicious with cauliflower standing in for the pasta!

healthy mac 'n' cheese opt

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. :)

Roasted cauliflower is soft and melt in your mouth. It tastes really good with cheese.

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.

You can use it as a dip or as a healthier version of mashed potatoes. It goes well with meat and you can barely taste the cauliflower. It's also very creamy so you don't have to add a lot of butter

I actually wanted to make curry cauliflower but I didn’t have the ingredients. Instead, I came up with this concoction.

I need some vitamin so want to see different way to cook it and think of this one.

This is a quick and easy eay to transform cauiflower into a delicious pizza flavored side dish. Its substantial enough to be a great lunch or light dinner as well adding a salad and bread if you like.

This is not a Turkish recipe. Still a very light, filling and healthy dish. I saw it online , and I'm sorry didn't think I will post this recipe , not enough pictures taken , hope you like it.

1/10th of the calories and it taste great. A great way to sneek a vegetable in on your kids.

Keto-friendly cauliflower mac and cheese is rich and creamy comfort food at its best without the added carbs.

Low carb instead of potato salad substitute potatoes for cauliflower.

Take it easy, take it easy. This is a really good recipe. It has great texture, great flavor and is very simple to make. I’ve seen recipes that call for flour egg and breadcrumbs on the slabs of cauliflower and then frying them. However I have done it that way and by just slicing the slabs, putting them on a bit of pizza sauce, more pizza sauce on top and sliced fresh lightly salted mozzarella. Having done it each of these ways, I don’t see the benefit of the added effort, time and mess of frying the cauliflowerA little bit of shaved Romano after you take it out of a 400° oven for 40 minutes, let it cool for 15 minutes and it’s really good. Excellent leftovers, even at room temperature.

Featured in 'Orange Page' - Thank you! ✿Deliciously tender cauliflower in a gentle cream stew, perfect for a cold day. This recipe's background: I often make this cream stew during cauliflower season, and it's a family favorite.

Anchovies and garlic are great combined with the mild taste of cauliflower for an easy, healthy tasty salad! Add chili pepper flakes for a spicier version.

Healthier version of mashed potatoes, but just as good!

Also good with broccoli. by Melissa Clark, NYTimes

Easy, delicious, and very healthy.

I had this dish on my first station, years ago. Just a good, simple combo. I changed up the sauce a bit though, swapping a roux base for a cauliflower purée to lighten it up and avoid wasting the tasty cauliflower core.

Great side dish
