OK ladies, here is the fake Mac and Cheese recipe. It is not low fat, however, with the DS fat is actually my friend so I don't care (in my RNY days I did care however....)
16 oz bag frozen cauliflower
4 oz cream cheese
2 TBS heavy cream or low carb milk
4 oz cheddar cheese shredded
2 green onions finely chopped (didn't add)
1 tsp minced chives, optional (didn't add)
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste (didn't add - cheese has enuf salt)
1/2 tsp pepper, or to taste
2 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
Cook the cauliflower until tender, drain well (at this point I also cut it into tiny macaroni sized pieces). In a 1 1/2 qt casserole, soften the cream cheese in the microwave about 30-40 seconds on HIGH. Whisk in the cream until smooth, then stir in the 4 oz cheddar cheese. Microwave on MEDIUM about 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Stir well until creamy and smooth, microwaving a little longer if neceassary. Stir in the green onions, chives, salt and pepper. Add the cauliflower and gently fold into the cheese sauce to coat well. Adjust the seasonings if needed. Top with the remaining 2 oz cheese and bake at 350 for 35 mins until bubbly and brown on top.
Makes 4-6 servings. can be frozen
