Faux mac n cheese

So, recently i've found out that the supposed low carb pasta called "dreamfields" isn't really low carb (this will explain it for ya: http://www.fathead-movie.com/index.php/2011/05/19/low-carb-pasta-in-your-dreams/ ) and I might as well be eating regular pasta.  This evening, I really wanted some mac n cheese, since pasta is outta the question, i decided to use my awesome cheese sauce recepie with some mashed cauliflower.  Here's what I did:
1- boiled a bag of frozen cauliflower (i cook it longer than needed to make it extra tender)
2- drain
3- mash it up with a masher, don't food process it
4 - mix in my cheese sauce (here's the link: http://wwamot.blogspot.com/2011/04/vanessas-thick-cheesy-sauce.html  )
5 - enjoy, i like mine with salt and pepper!

It's super easy and healthy.  If you can't get your kids to eat veggies (heck, if you are GROWN and don't like veggies), this is a great way to trick them. Here's a picture for ya.  I know it looks weird, maybe like eggs, but it's really very good and I can't wait to eat the leftovers!
