This recipe comes from my weekly blog. You can find it here http://www.smartbalance.com/blog/20100730/healthier-mac-%E2%80%98n%E2%80...
Find me a person who doesn’t love macaroni and cheese…it’s hard, right? This is a healthier recipe that eaters of all ages will love! The creaminess of the cauliflower puree allows for a very rich tasting dish despite a small amount of cheese. The result is a heart-healthier, low-cholesterol recipe. Enjoy!
