Eggface's Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole

 After eating a few bites of garlic lime marinated pork chop, I tired just a bite or two of Eggface's cheesy cauliflower casserole. It was so good!!! It is a family hit. My husband said, "Can we have these mashed potatoes every night?" He knew it was cauliflower. He was just making a point. It was great!! 


Here is the stats for 1 cup serving:   Nutrition Facts Serving Size 1C Amount Per Serving   Calories 336 Calories from Fat 207 Total Fat 23.0g  Saturated Fat 14.4g Cholesterol 70mg Sodium 780mg  Total Carbs 17.1g Dietary Fiber 2.1g Sugars 8.3g Protein 16.1g   Vitamin A 17% • Vitamin C 52% Calcium 44% • Iron 6%  

 Sounds absolutely delicious - but the fat content is out of control and relatively low protein.  I'm wondering - is the fat from the cheese or something else?

Yes...I didn't have any lowfat cheese. That would have made a difference. Right now, being 7 weeks post op, a bite or 2 doesn't really factor in. But if I were to eat a full serving, then I would substitute lowfat cheese.

Actually i think it's fine.  The numbers are for a cup.  as a side dish we would probably eat at most 1/8 of a cupm so if it's good and tasty it would be fine with a chicken thigh or some source of main protein/

 Lol at this stage, I don't know if i could just eat 1/8 or even 1/4
Cup of anything cheese related. 

Yeah cheese is crack.

It does sound good but I'm worried bout the nutritional content... But hope your family enjoyed it

Tastes like mashed potatoes??!? Dang, I gotta try this!!!

 I know eggface is on maintenace and is not concerned about fat content. 

I'm so envious you can eat pork. I have not been able to eat pork since my surgery. I get a very sick, full feeling if I eat even one bite. Then I feel like i have to barf.

This German girl really misses her pork! 

Best,

Well LOL I've never really been concerned about fat content. I do full fat... it's more satisfying to me (mouth feel, yumminess) and so I eat less and am content versus lowfat or horrors non-fat which would leave me wishing for the real deal and sad :( plus... non-fat = scary weird words in the ingredients.

You can certainly cut the cheese (umm LOL) a bit and get a similar taste (all of my recipes with the exception of baked goods are adaptable like that) but yeah a dollop or 2 with some grilled chicken or fish works for me.

Oh on the pork... I have issues with pork too... miss a good pork chop but 2 bites and I'm holding my side :(

P.S. to the OP... Glad it was enjoyed :)!
