Cauliflower Mac n Cheese

For the next posts I’m creating some delicious Ketogenic recipes. Not all meat! In fact, there are Vegetarian versions of this diet. Whether you’re into the Ketogenic Diet or not you’ll enjoy this version of Mac n Cheese. Roasted Cauliflower subs for the macaroni. No matter how much cheese or what spice you add this definitely tastes of cauliflower. My family loves roasted cauliflower … So, adding cheese was just a perfect addition for a main dish result.
About the Ketogenic Diet … I recently began following Keto recommendations with amazing success in losing weight but what peaked my interest most was the benefits to nerve and brain health. I’ve lived long enough to know, information today changes tomorrow … But what I’ve studied just makes sense. I’m sure this diet isn’t for everyone. I recommend contacting your physician before beginning any strict dietary regimen.
Changing up from the traditional stuffed bells to poblanos. Less bitter than green bells, full of flavor, especially when roasted, poblanos are a great choice for stuffed peppers.

Looking back, so many of the prepared foods eaten when I was a child are no longer considered a healthy choice. The main ingredient of this sandwich filling is a processed meat you can’t seem to find any longer in the grocer’s deli. Grandma’s recipe did incorporate cooked chicken if you preferred but it was the original that I loved. For a special treat I do go the bologna and pork loaf but cut the recipe way back from the 6 loaves of bread, etc, to a 4 serving proportion … Just enough for a treat but not for a full on wedding reception. Now I have to say my Grandmother was well known for this recipe by her family & friends. And I feel pretty lucky to have found it written down by her niece many years ago. Problem is Grandma was a change up artist. What she had in the pantry might find its way into the mix. My Mother too had a way of changing her Mother-in-law’s recipes. Mom made it tuna. It can even go just eggs. Or how about turning this into a salad instead. It all can be done with this recipe. Have you ever heard, ‘no one can make it like Grandma?’ Need I say more!
