Hubby adds a little bit of oil, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, tosses in a bowl. Spread cauliflower on a cookie sheet, cook at 350 for 20 - 25 minutes (watch oven near the end to make sure it doesn't burn). Soo good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849140037963687553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8295270663248907626.post-67672077964703229212012-02-26T10:31:24.341-06:002012-02-26T10:31:24.341-06:00Thanks ladies :) I def will keep some flower on h...Thanks ladies :) I def will keep some flower on hand for next time.. and Lynzhi Im with you on the cottage cheese.. but perhaps I shall try it in lieu of cream bext time :-D And its good to know that flour lasts for a long time in an airtight container! :-DSee Millie Trihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311038794290066074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8295270663248907626.post-67865957933731420822012-02-25T16:20:26.685-06:002012-02-25T16:20:26.685-06:00fat free cottage cheese also works well in lieu of...fat free cottage cheese also works well in lieu of cream. protein add on, thickener, and casein protein makes you feel fuller longer. i hate me some cottage cheese by itself, but it comes in *super* handy when youre cooking.Lynzhinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8295270663248907626.post-74221588791001672862012-02-25T16:02:43.902-06:002012-02-25T16:02:43.902-06:00The issue was definitely the omit of cream and/or ...The issue was definitely the omit of cream and/or no flour. The part that thickens these types of sauces is making a sort of roux out of the butter + flour. Though, I have no idea what hemp protein is, I'm assuming it just doesn't have the consistency of flour. I'd suggest keeping flour or cornstarch on hand. If kept in an airtight container it should last for months and months with no risk of going bad. Also, since you subbed milk for the cream, there was not enough milk fat to thicken the sauce properly. I learned this the hard way with some beer cheese soup once - my chef friend had to come to the rescue with butter and flour. :)Big Life, Little Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11665932742130377193noreply@blogger.com
