Probably one of my favorites is the cauliflower-masquerading-as-mashed-potatoes, which we do with bacon, cream cheese, and cheddar:

Did that over the weekend and marveled at how delicious it was. Substituted Cabot Farms whole milk Greek yogurt for the cream cheese.

Absolutely delicious...perhaps even better than potatoes. Will add a bit of garlic and chives next time.

I have been on a low carb diet for over 2 years and have lost over 40 lbs...and feel great.

My favorite dish is chicken Francese served over a bed of delicious spaghetti squash noodles.

I do cheat a little by coating my chicken with Panko and tossing in just enough flour to thicken my Francese sauce. Do an extra long cardio workout the next day to burn off the cheats.

Also, did a Chicken Carbonaro over the weekend on a bed of spaghetti squash noodles again and using Cabot Farms whole milk Greek yogurt to thicken the sauce--no flour required.

So good I wept for joy.

My husband refuses to flour or bread anything when he’s seriously dieting; but in my experience, after you get through the initial phase or two of this kind of diet, the carbs added by a little flour are negligible. I think you always have to have balance - and you’re not going to stay on any diet without having interesting things to eat. Once in a while, that tiny bit of flour or bread crumb makes a big difference to comfort.

Didn’t know Cabot Farms makes a whole milk Greek yogurt. I’ll have to ask local Walmart to stock it. Thanks!
Cabot makes a Sharp White Cheddar cheese that is fantastic; Walmart sells it for about $8.50 for a 2 lb block. I get it every trip.

I have so been thinking for several years about making mashed cauliflower.....you both talked me into it, sounds very yummy!

Other than that we are the carb household. Love me some carbs!
