Cauliflower Mac 'n Cheese!

And here is another obsession of mine -- Cooking!

The boy is currently in the midst of a low-carb kick, and carbs are pretty much my chocolate so we found an awesome recipe online that made the lack of carbs obsolete. Enter, Cauliflower Mac N Cheese with Bacon! The process below --


First, chop and boil 2 heads of cauliflower until crisp and tender, about 5 minutes.


Grate 2-3 cups of cheese. We chose cheddar and gruyere, with a dash of parmesan.


In a sauce pan, bring 1 c of heavy cream to a simmer then add 2 ounces of cream cheese. Once melted, add 1 tbsp of dijon mustard, and salt, pepper, and garlic powder (amount as you prefer). Once combined and smooth, add cheese (remember to leave about 1/2 c or so for the top!) Melt.


Put the cauliflower in a casserole dish, and pour the melted cheese all over, shake to cover. Next, sprinkle the solid cheese on top, along with bacon (we fried up about 5 pieces) Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.

Check out that gorgeous cheesy goodness!


And you wouldnt even know it was missing the "Mac"!

Mmmmmmm.....
