The good news is....I think I have done it. I think this may be as good as it is going to get for my mac and cheese. Wait until you see the picture! It looks just like homemade mac and cheese!
BUT first things first! Did you notice my two new tabs up above?!? That's right, 6 months later, I have started my "done" recipe pages! Right now there is only two recipes or so that I think are good enough to be considered "done" but hey - it's a start! Annnnd, I think this recipe will go over there also.
Cheese sauce ingredients:
1 cup cauliflower puree
1 cup shredded cheese
1 tsp yellow mustard
1/2 cup milk
Salt, pepper, garlic powder
Cook on medium-low stirring often until smooth.
Pour over macaroni noodles and LOOK, LOOK LOOK at how great it looks!!!
So you understand why I am so excited, you might need to look back at the pictures from my last mac and cheese attempt...
So, it wasn't super orange, but 1/2 cup cauliflower puree and 1/2 cup carrot would solve that problem. I do think it's important to puree the purees as smooth as possible. This was as smooth as I have ever made it, and there was still a tiny hint that something else was in there, but like I said, I think it's as good as it will get.
Also this recipe was barely enough for my research team and I, so... just so you know. :) Well, I guess D had some too, it was his first mac and cheese! See, train them young, and they'll never know mac and cheese isn't supposed to have pureed veggies! Hmm... I wonder if I should make him part of the research team?
The Verdict:
"It's so much creamier than last time! Is there more?"
Next time... maybe veggie bread? Maybe. Hopefully. I promise to try and follow the recipe... a little closer...
