Ahh.. a new year. How many of you have a new years resolution? Fun fact: The number one resolution people have for 2015 is to exercise/lose weight. So if you happen to be among the hundreds of people who are on the road to a healthier lifestyle then this recipe is for YOU!
I don't know where to begin. This sauce is creamy... it's delicious... it's.... CAULIFLOWER? You read it right people - cauliflower. It's a whole new way to pack this not-so-thrilling veggie into meals your WHOLE family will love! Even better - it's so versatile and can be used for tons of yummy recipes. Even better than that - it's only 49 calories per serving!! I was so excited to try out this sauce and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! I admit that I had my doubts before making it. I thought it would have a strong cauliflower taste and that it would have a weird texture to it. WRONG. It even tasted pretty good with some quick Chicken Lazone.
