Back from unREALity!

Vegas was unreal. A little hit and miss, but fun for the most part. I feel like dieting is like budgeting [money]. You save up [calories] so you can use them later on. :) So that I did! I'm sorry I don't have pictures of what I ate, but I did take pictures of what I wore.

Recipe Request:

Here is a recipe request for a healthy version of Macaroni and Cheese.

I make it using cauliflower instead of pasta for a low carb dinner version...

Serves 2

3 cups Cauliflower –Steamed and chopped 

1 cup low fat shredded Cheddar 

1 cup low fat shredded Colby Jack 

2 Tbsp Half and half (I used 2% milk)

2 Tbsp reduced fat cream cheese

1/4 tsp garlic powder 

1/4 tsp onion powder 

1/4 tsp ground mustard (I used Dijon mustard)

Preheat oven to 350F. In saucepan over medium-low heat, warm milk, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and mustard (feel free to use any combination of spices you like). Whisk until creamy, do not let boil. Mix cheese together in bowl. Pour 1 1/2 cups of cheese mixture into saucepan. Stir until cheese is completely melted. Add cauliflower and gently fold until cauliflower is covered. Place mixture into baking dish and top with remaining shredded cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is browned. (If desired broil for the last 2 minutes of baking time)

We stayed in...it was officially a lazy Monday :/
