The easy low-carb side of your dreams: Provolone Cheddar Cauliflower "Mac"


I've been experimenting with Nutritional Ketosis for a little while, and it's worked wonders for the month I've tried it. What's been making Keto easier for me boils down to one thing, this is the most sustainable diet I've ever attempted. It shocks my friends time and time again just how good some of the food is that you can play with, and how easy it is to make. If you have about 20 minutes to prepare a dish, you can have a masterpiece on your hands. Made with 5 simple ingredients, this is most certainly one of them.

Ingredients:
  • 1 bag of Frozen Cauliflower (chopped)
  • 1 1/2 cup, Shredded Provolone Cheese
  • 8 oz, Mild Cheddar cheese- Block
  • 2 large Eggs beaten
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened Coconut Milk
  • Salt to taste
The ingredients can be from a bag or shredded from a block. I prefer all fresh ingredients but honestly, when you're in a pinch, and just want to make something amazing, The bagged stuff will most certainly do. 
First thing you wanna do is boil the Frozen cauliflower for 10 minutes, let it cool and chop it to desired sizes. Next thing is.... wait a minute.
Let me say this first off... 
I rarely explain the prep portion, because if you don't know how to throw all the ingredients in an 8 x 8 baking pan and mix, then I don't know what to tell you. Its really that simple! 

Seriously.

It's not complicated and it doesn't have to be, and that's a good thing. less time doing rigorous meal prep, makes for a much more enjoyable diet.  Bake it in the oven covered for 15 minutes then uncover it and let it continue until desired browning of the cheese on top. If you don't love the taste of this dish, then you have no soul.

Cutting the final product into 6 servings makes it the perfect side dish and is especially low carb consider. The macros make it all the more satisfying. Here is a complete list of the nutrition facts to the right just give you a more detailed idea of what you're putting into your body.

Final product, this version had more cheddar than provolone

If you try it and love it please leave a comment and let me know what you think, better yet, if you have any ideas and suggestions please let me know. I always need new ideas on what I could make, and putting my own spin on things accordingly. Good luck on the weight loss journey. Let it continue to be a delicious one.
