One of the things that I have been able to be a part of is the All Whisked Up Challenge. Members of the Wisconsin Whisk group are blindly sent a blogger by the organizers and sent their info via email. We are to wander through their blog, learn about them, and cook one of their recipes.
I was given Edesia's Notebook, a blogger based out of
Her recipes are easy to follow and don't involve too many ingredients--this is the perfect pairing for me. I am not an overly complicated cook myself and quite a few of her recipes sounded amazing. I also love the style of her blog, she has her recipes indexed and that has been a goal of mine for a few years and I just haven't gotten around to it. Goal for 2016!
I talked with my guy and asked him to help me slim it down to which recipe I was going to make as it was just too hard to do on my own, and we decided upon Loaded Cauliflower Casserole. I had most of the ingredients already at home and only made a few simple changes to the recipe to reduce the calorie and fat count.
I bought a fresh head of cauliflower and got to chopping. In just about 10 minutes it was tender from the microwave.
I mixed up the rest of the ingredients that included Lite French Onion Dip, 1/3 less fat cream cheese, and turkey bacon. I also didn't have fresh chives so I used my dried ones.
Then it was as simple as mixing the rest of it up together and getting it into the casserole dish.
I topped it with some 4-cheese blend and more turkey bacon and popped it in the oven.
And in just 30 minutes, it was done and bubbly. I let it rest for about five minutes and then scooped myself a decent portion out and took my first bite.
This recipe is AH-MAZING!!!! The French Onion Dip is what really puts it over the top. I think that all my party potato recipes are going to include French Onion Dip from here forward. It adds a level of flavor depth that is so good, but not overpowering. I could actually eat this casserole as a meal and I love that it is low carb.
It has for sure become a favorite of mine.
I urge all my readers to check out Wisconsin Whisk and see what other bloggers from around the state are sharing. I am so happy to be apart of this group and can't wait to see what the future holds! I am already a huge fan of Edesia's Notebook and saw a recipe for Crispy Orange Terriyaki Wings - maybe I'll be the next Wings Around Waukesha post!

We love this dish, and I'm glad you liked it too! Good to know that it works well with reduced-fat ingredients. Thanks for the lovely comments!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I might need to make this sometime when I'm feeling like some good ol' fashioned comfort food! :)
