Puree stage..yippee!
care to share your mac n cheese recipe? I love the ricotta bake! I've mostly ate refried beans and cheese. tuna salad, grits and eggs.
For the Faux Mac & cheese I took 2 heads of cauliflower (they were small)
Cut them up and boiled them in chicken broth. When they were super super soft I used a slotted spoon and took them out and put in a strainer to drain. Then I mashed them up good.
For the cheese sauce I melted 1/2 stick of butter, added flour to make a smooth paste, added 2 cups of milk and stirred until it came to a boil. Took it off the heat and added 2 cups of extra sharp shredded cheese to melt. Then combined the cauliflower and cheese sauce. Put it in a baking dish for about 1/2 hour at 350.
I only has 1 3oz serving of it. I gave some to a friend who also had VSG and my daughter ate the rest. She loved it and has asked I make it again. The cheese sauce is calorie dense but could be altered to have less fat I'm sure...I'm just not ambitious enough to try! LOL
