Healthy Mac ‘n Cheese And Creamy Sauces

If you are looking for ways to offer vegetables to picky eaters, or want a delicious, healthy, creamy sauce for yourself, this recipe with blended, steamed cauliflower is for you.

One of my children calls the Mac 'n Cheese version: "Winner winner, noodle dinner."

I love making a batch of these creamy, healthy sauces for lots of easy and varied fast food dishes.

The basic sauce is great as an alfredo sauce.

It is delicious over Ezekiel sprouted grain pasta, beans, vegetables, etc..

It also serves nicely as a creamy soup base or even as a creamy soup all on its own.

It can be transformed into a variety of other sauces, including Mac 'n Cheese, Creamy Tomato Sauce, or Gravy by adding a few ingredients.

<strong>Basic No-Measure-Throw-Together Sauce:</strong>

Steamed Cauliflower <em>(organic if possible--boil in pan of water until soft and sweet-what you taste here will translate in the sauce)</em>

Organic Firm Tofu <em>as desired</em>

Organic Soy, Almond or Cow Milk <em>to desired consistency</em>

Kosher or Sea Salt <em>to taste</em>

Pepper <em>if desired</em>

<em>Blend in blender until creamy.</em>

<strong>Macaroni and Cheese Sauce:</strong>

To make a soft orange-hued sauce, steam a few carrot slices with the cauliflower and blend

Melt a little cheddar or other favorite cheese into the sauce in a pan on the stove, if desired

Pour over whole grain pasta. A favorite for Mac 'n Cheese is Ancient Grains Quinoa Elbows (pictured below and in main photo).

<strong>Creamy Tomato Sauce:</strong>

Blend in favorite tomato sauce or sautéed tomatoes

<strong>Gravy:</strong>

Add a dash of Bragg's Amino Acids
