So anyone who knows me, knows how much I love cauliflower so I will do anything to try a new and wonderful way to eat it. And this really didn't disappoint.
I can't remember the last time I ate a twice baked potato - yummy but it just seems like a lot of effort for a potato. Delicious, but too much work for a lazy ass like me. But when I saw twice baked cauliflower I was in heaven.
Here's the link: Twice Baked Cauliflower
I boiled the cauliflower; chopped up and fried about 6 rashers of bacon and chopped up half and onion. I threw the cooked cauliflower into the food processor (this is because I don't actually own a masher), then stirred in the bacon and onion into the mix, then added about two spoonfuls of sour cream, and handful of cheese, mixed it up and threw it into the oven towards just before the pork roast we were having was almost done.
Now, the recipe called for non-fat sour cream and cheese, and I just don't do non-fat, low-fat, sugar-free etc. I don't want to know what they do to those products to make them non-fat, and surprisingly my stomach treats me much kinder since I switched to whole milk. So it's not the lowest in calorie, but cauliflower is much lower on the glycemic index than potato, and I really didn't use a lot of cheese and sour cream.
I can say that I absolutely didn't care that it wasn't potato. It tasted divine, and my husband loved it as well. My kids liked it too, but it's been almost impossible to get them to eat any dinner lately. I don't know what's up with that.
