Loaded Cauliflower Bake - Makes 3 servings
Ingredients:
3 cups cauliflower florettes
4 ounces fage plain greek yogurt
1 cup 2 percent grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 slices cooked bacon
2 tablespoons snipped chives
3 tablespoons butter
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
Directions:
Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp; set aside on a paper towel then crumble.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Fill a large pot with water, bring to a boil and add cauliflower and garlic. Boil until the cauliflower is soft, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, and return to the pot.
Add the yogurt, butter, salt and pepper to the cauliflower and purée with a hand blender. If you don’t own a hand blender, a regular blender would work fine as well.
Mix in 1 tbsp of the chives and transfer to 4 individual casseroles (3/4 cups each) or one 8 x 8 casserole dish and top with cheddar and crumbled bacon.
Bake in the oven until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes then top with remaining chives.
ENJOY!

Did you know studies show: overweight and obesity are linked to more deaths worldwide than underweight? In recent years, an estimated 300,000 deaths per year are due to obesity epidemic. Potatoes have a higher glycemic index than table SUGAR, eating potatoes has almost double the effect as eating pure table sugar. Potatoes may not be considered sweet or "sugary" but they are a starchy vegetable. The starch in potatoes is converted to sugar in your body. For that reason, potatoes can have a more significant effect on blood glucose than table sugar, which will increase a person's blood sugar levels. There's around 19 teaspoons of sugar in an average potato, which is more than seven teaspoons in a can of Coke. So long story short cauliflower is a great healthy substitute for potatoes that doesn't create huge spikes in blood sugar.
