Creamy Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce
周一你会快乐。我希望每个人都有一个wonderful weekend with the ones you love!
Mike and I started the day with homemade pink heart pancakes made by little man himself (so of course red sprinkles were part of the pancake “package”). We headed over to grandma and grandpas house afterwards for a little play time action and to tell them we loved them! Next up was some driving range fun. Mike had some target practice in to prepare for an upcoming golf tournament, little man was setting up the tees for daddy and then learning how to swing properly, while I was photographing the whole thing and taking a few swings here and there! After our driving range fun we headed to the grocery store to pick up a big hunk of Ribeye (and when I say hunk I mean it, this baby was 2″ thick and the most beautiful steak you’ve ever seen) and a bottle of wine for later that night. The rest of the afternoon we spent the day outside playing and enjoying the 80 degree weather complete with no clouds and sunshine. Have I told you how much I love living down south!
To finish off a great day, after little man went to sleep, Mike and I poured ourselves a glass of wine from a bottle that we had purchased in Napa Valley last March and started cooking.
What was on the menu?
We madeCreamy Leek Risotto with Crispy Pancetta, Pan SearedRibeyewith a homemade Garlic Herb Compound Butter, andHoney Soy Roasted Brussels Sprouts. We were planning on making theNutella Chocolate Lava Cakethat night as well but by the time we finished eating dinner it was almost 9pm so we decided to save the lava cake for another night. All in all it was a great family day finished up by a romantic evening, absolute perfection!
Why I Love This Alfredo Sauce
Something else that is absolute perfection is thisCreamy Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce. Yup, cauliflower as the base for a creamy Alfredo sauce. I thought it was weird too, and wasn’t sure how it was gonna to turn out but it literally tastes just like Alfredo sauce. Like for realz, it’s crazy. My eyes lite up after I tried it for the first time. I felt like a sneaky genius serving this to little man because he had no idea it was loaded of vegetables. (I actually made it with Spinach Pasta, Chicken, and Broccoli … that recipe is coming soon!)
I loved it so much that I thought I would share this staple sauce recipe with you. It is really easy to make and once the cauliflower is soft from steaming it you literally just put everything in a blender and puree the crap out of it, which in turn gives you this smooth CreamyCauliflowerAlfredo Sauce! You and your family with love it!
I hope you guys give it a try so it can rock your world as much as it rocked mine!

I have been so into cauliflower lately so what a brilliant idea this is! I have to try this.
Woohoo… cauliflower lovers unite!
I’m a big fan of traditional Alfredo but admit I use way too much heavy cream in my cooking! Even though I’m not willing to give it up quite yet, I do like the compromise of using cauliflower like you did here. I bet I won’t even notice the difference
haha… totally understand that. I hope you give it a try, it seriously is amazing, you won’t be able to tell the difference!
I LOVE using cauliflower as Alfredo sauce. In fact, I think I like it even better than the original. It’s so creamy!
totally agree with you, it really does taste better than the regular version.
Oh gosh I looove experimenting with diff ways to use veggies, and I gotta give it to you–haven’t heard of this! Looks amazing!!
Oh… you will love it Kirtley! It seriously is way better taste wise and better for you!
I made a recipe like this for my family and they loved it! My daughter just asked me to make it again but I haven’t got around to it yet.
Great minds think alike! I love that the kiddos like the cauliflower version better than the heavy cream version. WIN!!
I haven’t tried this yet but it’s on my list. It looks so good!
