Cauliflower

I don’t like giving up my bread and baked goods, but I’ve found a low-carb diet is the most effective way for me to lose my baby weight. When you think low-carb, what comes to mind? Eating triple cheeseburgers with piles of bacon in a lettuce cup. No, I’m not eating that. I’m usually eating lean proteins, tons of veggies and protein shakes. But it gets boring. Fast.

One of my absolute favorite low-carb meals is cheesy cauliflower breadsticks. They are super simple to make, taste delicious, and are really healthy. I’ve made them into cakes, pizza crusts, and breadsticks, and all versions of the cauliflower-based crust worked out really well.

Mmmm…cauliflower! So I know there is a whole big movement to replace carbs with cauliflower. But it’s not just hype! It actually totally works. Now, if you’re expecting that cauliflower pizza crust is going to taste EXACTLY like pizza you’ll get at your favorite restaurant, well, then you’re going to be disappointed. But, I still think cauliflower is a great substitute.

Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables. I love it roasted, I love it steamed, and I love it as cauliflower cheddar bites and cauliflower breadsticks. There are so many amazing things you can do with cauliflower to lighten up a meal or make it low-carb. That’s why I decided to try making this cauliflower hummus recipe.
