Cauliflower is one of the latest trends in low-carb dieting. I have yet to try it to make breadsticks or calzones but I am loving cauliflower fried rice & this new recipe for loaded cauliflower bake. My family includes my husband and I (we’re both on the Trim Healthy Mama – THM plan) and our three kiddos who, at ages 11, 6, & 4 can be rather picky eaters. They literally think the cauliflower fried rice is better than regular fried rice! Once I saw what a hit that was I decided to substitute cauliflower in a couple of potato dishes to see how it went over.

My Loaded Cauliflower Bake is reminiscent of a loaded baked potato. You truly won’t miss the potatoes! It also reminds me of the popular cauliflower broccoli casserole with rice…you won’t miss the rice either! I know I’ve said it before, but trust me, I’m one of the pickiest mamas you’ll meet. If I say you won’t miss an ingredient you can believe you won’t miss it. This is an ooey-gooey, flavor-filled casserole style dish that can be used as a side to a carb-friendly meal like Dan’s Pulled Pork.

Loaded Cauliflower Bake is an easy and delicious side dish.  this low carb dish is an S side in the Trim Healthy Mama plan. #thmsmeal

In fact, it tastes great with the pulled pork on top just like a loaded potato with barbecue pork on top. You can find the recipe for this pork here! It is a dry rub and my friends who are reading the recipe for the first time often ask multiple times if I’m sure they don’t need to add liquid…you will absolutely not need to add liquid to this pork recipe. It is so juicy and delicious it makes my mouth water just thinking about it! Try it today without the bun! It has a great depth of flavor.

You can use fresh or frozen cauliflower for this dish. If you use frozen, be sure to thaw it completely and drain it before baking. The fun thing about this dish is that it can be frozen and reheated. I like to make it in a 9×13 pan and then once we’ve enjoyed it for dinner and the dish has cooled I simply cut it into squares and place it on a small cookie sheet to freeze. After it is frozen solid you can then bag it up in your freezer baggies or food saver bags to store.

This is an S meal for THM. The S stands for satisfying and like all S meals you’ll find it does not disappoint. One thing we love most about THM is that we don’t feel like we’re dieting. This meal is no different, there is nothing ‘diety’ about delicious cheese & bacon surrounding cauliflower baking in heavy creamy goodness. This is sure to please your family even if they aren’t on THM! I think this would be a fantastic Thanksgiving side dish or potluck carry-in. It will be a crowd pleaser for sure.

    Awwww you’ve just added new life to my THM journey. Sometimes my brain just goes into a slump and I just cannot possibly come up with one more recipe for our meal plan… I am so grateful to have found this. My husband wants to THM, but the food has to win him. This recipe ought to help!!! Thank you. 🙂

    I accidentally bought regular cream cheese at the store and wanted to make this tonight, which means I can’t make it back to the store. Is regular cream cheese okay?

    Thank you for sharing your recipe! I am planning to make it this afternoon.
    Would you mind telling me roughly the size bags of cauliflower you used? I have three 12 oz bags but after I got home and read the recipe again I am wondering if that is what you meant or not. I also had riced cauliflower in my head and that is what I have. Wondering if I need to get a bag of chopped also so that it has a little more body.

    Thank you!!

      I was wondering the same thing. And I also bought three 12 oz. bags today to try this. I’m going with if 2 of us thought that same amount then it can’t be completely wrong. LOL

Our Latest Shenanigans

See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I thought they were goners. See, my sister gave us the bulbs for Asiatic Lillies for Christmas last year, down in a bag full of dirt and told us to take them home and plant them in the cold so they would rest and come back next year. Or freeze them. I did neither. I knew we weren’t in our own home yet, and we were hoping to move into our forever home this summer, so I threw them in the closet and waited. They stayed dormant, and started to develop roots in the Spring, still in the bag in my closet. Come June 5, we moved into our new house, and I pulled out the bag around June 15 to plant them and found that the roots were turning to mush. The bulbs were starting to rot. I planted them anyway, but to make matters worse, I accidentally planted them upside down because I thought the roots were actually sprouts. Oops. Then, I hired my boys and their friends to weed the bed where these are planted and forgot to tell them to leave these alone. The “sprouts” disappeared. I thought they were gone forever. Here it is the middle of August, and a week or so ago, I found these baby Asiatic Lillies coming up. I texted a pic to my sis to ask if this was what they look like. Sure enough after all that trauma, this gift survived. I won’t have blooms this year, but I’m told they will come back next year and survive to bloom. What a sweet blessing that will be, God willing. And a sweet reminder to persevere under trials and hardship. God is doing something bigger, something hidden, something better than we can ever imagine. Hang in there! #momlife #momfierce #momforthewin #firmlyplanted
Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff, especially the unmasking of pedophilia and it’s prominence in the US and in our backyards. This horrifies and frightens me. I am so grateful to know that God will prevail. In the end, He wins. Everything seems so dark here in the US and it’s because of the spiritual forces of evil — but I know God will prevail. His love never fails. I’m putting my hope in this truth. #loveneverfails #godwins #godisgreater #momlife #momfierce

There are so many things I need to tell you about There are so many things I need to tell you about this picture. First #sheisloved campaign with @mercyhouseglobal and sheispriceless.org - check that out it’s important. Second - that cute bracelet came from @mercyhouseglobal about a month ago and *didn’t fit*. Today it’s loose enough to twist. I haven’t lost a lot of pounds according to the scale — I kinda stalled out three or four weeks ago at 17 pounds lost — but apparently I’m losing fat. That’s a victory. Third, my hands look like my moms and will some day look like my grandmas. I consider that a blessing.  Finally, it’s been a beautiful day😍 but I’m kinda sad it took me this long to find a red marker and share the love. If you have one handy, it’s not too late to jump on board with @wearethatfamily and be a world-changer! #worldchanger #momfierce #prayformoms #especiallyteenmomsinkenya #mymomrocks
