This recipe is so wonderfully sinful! Don’t miss out! Can you believe it’s low carb too!
Since I started my Ketogenic lifestyle I have really been using a lot of cauliflower. I am finding it lately at really good prices and buying it almost everytime I go shopping.
I remember back in the spring it was so expensive to buy cauliflower, so I am happy to see it’s come down in price. Cauliflower is very versatile and can be used quite often in a lot of dishes that would normally call for high carb ingredients like potatoes. I find a lot of casseroles have potatoes in them so I simply use cauliflower instead. I am telling you they won’t be missed once you start replacing them with low carb ingredients or even sweet potatoes.
This recipe is a good find, it really is sinful! It’s so rich and creamy and still fits into a low carb or ketogenic lifestyle! It’s so yummy! I love taking this to a pot luck because everyone asks me for the recipe so I know they really enjoyed it! It’s a hit every time people try it.
I find this is the perfect side dish to go with a nice slow cooker roast! Perfect the next day for leftovers as well. I like to eat the left overs for lunch the next day. Quick and simple to heat up and serve.
I love my Ketogenic lifestyle and my Keto/os drink! If you haven’t tried it yet you are really missing out. All the carbs we eat are so bad for our health! Making low carb or ketogenic meals has become so normal for me now I don’t even feel like I am missing out on anything. If I choose to eat a few more carbs, Keto/os helps to make up for it and keeps me in ketosis no matter what I eat. How cool is that?

I like this recipe.
Do you break up the head into florette
s to roast and do you mince the 16 cloves of garlic?
What can be used instead of all purpose flour? Coconut flour?
If I understand Keto correctly you should use regular milk or all purpose flours. I would use Almond milk and almond flour
