Mac & Cheese with Cauliflower

12 Apr

Cauliflower-Mac-n-Cheese-Fork

Michael loves comfort food and loves pasta so I figured mac n’ cheese would make the perfect homecoming meal. I had previously made a modified version of the Mac-n-Cheese Style Cauliflower from Vegetarian Times and I loved it. The cauliflower made such a great change from traditional mac-n-cheese. I felt like it kept it much lighter but Michael felt like it was more of a side dish. This time around I decided to add pasta for Michael, while I ate most of the cauliflower.

This time around, I omitted the cayenne, eggs and didn’t bake the dish. I also used heavy cream because I needed to use it up and added about 1/4 package of pasta.

You can find the recipe on Vegetarian Times

As always, enjoy!

Grilled Vegetable Hummus Wrap

1 Mar

IMG_9229

This recipe came about after a dear friend and I had horrible grilled vegetable hummus wraps. Actually, I should say alleged grilled vegetable hummus wraps. Our wraps were composed of previously frozen carrots and broccoli and maybe a tablespoon of hummus. We were so disappointed that I decided to take matters into my own hands and make my own! I grilled some vegetables, whipped up some hummus and voila, everything for real grilled vegetable hummus wraps!

Let’s talk a little about nutritional yeast. If you’re not already a vegetarian or vegan then this ingredient may seem a little, well weird. For non-meat eaters, nutritional yeast is an excellent source of the vitamin B-12. Since B-12 is primarily only found in meat, we need to find alternative sources of this very important vitamin. So, it’s nutritional yeast to the rescue! The flavor of nutritional yeast is not at all like the taste of common bread yeast. It has a very creamy texture and a cheesy flavor. It’s really is quite delicious.

Ingredients
1 Ezekiel 4:9 Tortilla
Mix of grilled vegetables (red peppers, zucchini, red onions and carrots)
2 tbsp hummus
1/8 cup sprouts
1/2 avocado
1 tbsp nutritional yeast

Directions

  1. Spread the hummus onto the tortilla
  2. Add vegetables, avocado, sprouts and nutritional yeast
  3. Enjoy!
