I've
been quite busy the last few days so I haven't had time to come online and post
this recipe, but since it was the best Cauliflower Cheese that I have ever
made, I felt I needed to dedicate a post especially to the pure deliciousness
that I enjoyed a few days ago. This Cauliflower Cheese has it all; full fat,
low carb, creamy, buttery and cheesy - what more can you ask for? How about the
recipe? Be patient young grasshoppers.
The only versions of
Cauliflower Cheese I have ever tried is a crappy frozen version - which was
low-fat (gasp) - I know. I went through that phase too where I thought fat was
the devil and low-fat was the way to a healthier lifestyle - I will never make
that mistake again. The second time I tried it, it was my own recipe and this
was the outcome.

Look at all that yummy fat, floating on top. Mmm... Isn't it just
amazing that we can enjoy this meal and still lose weight, whilst still being
healthy? Because even though it’s difficult to wrap your head around - this is
healthy. This Cauliflower Cheese is actually healthier than any low-fat version
you will eat. Why? Because everything I used in this recipe is completely full
fat and natural. There are no added colours, preservatives, additives, starch,
or ingredients that you can't pronounce. But I will make a post on the benefits
of Ketosis later on this week.
Now back to the recipe...
If you can boil water and throw
things in to a pot - then you can make Cauliflower Cheese. I thought it would
be one of those recipes that required a lot of ingredients and took a very long
time to make, but it’s the complete opposite - it's easy and only takes 20
Minutes in the oven - mainly for the cheese to brown and everything to warm
through.

Like most of my recipes, the Cauliflower Cheese is quite high calorie - 690 to be precise and packed with fat and protein - but if like me you’re only concerned about keeping an eye on carbs, read on.
