LOW CARB CAULIFLOWER POT PIES

I’m back with the low carb amazing-ness and they are NOT here to disappoint!

These Low Carb Cauliflower Pot Pies are high in flavor but low in calories. Not to mention, they’re gluten free! Like…does it really get any better, guys? *heart eyes*

I’ve been itching to share this recipe with y’all for over a week now but unfortunately, I encountered some behind the scenes tech probz.

I was in the middle of editing my pictures when *poof* everything had a blue-ish tint. Just like that, a vibrant picture of Low Carb Cauliflower Pot Pies had turned into a somewhat depressing, washed out, cold meal of tears.

I immediately freaked out with a million things racing through my mind at once.  Within minutes, I found myself falling deeper into the Google search black hole, desperately seeking answers to this super random situation.

I tried everything from restarting it a bazillion times, to adjusting just about every setting I could find. I think the only thing I didn’t end up trying was putting my laptop in a giant bowl of rice.

But nope, no luck.

Soooo fast-forward a week later and here we are. New laptop in full effect, ready to take on the blog lyfe.

Ingredients

• For the cauliflower base:
• 1 medium head cauliflower (4-5 cups cauliflower rice)
• 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• pinch of salt and pepper
• For the pot pie filling:
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1/4 cup almond milk, unsweetened
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
• 8 oz cooked chicken, diced
• 1 tbs onion powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbs cornstarch + 1/4 cup water

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Add the cauliflower to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until you achieve a rice-like consistency. Transfer cauliflower "rice" to a bowl and microwave for 5 minutes. Set aside and allow cauliflower to cool for approx 10 minutes.
2. Add the cauliflower rice to a cheesecloth and squeeze out as much of the juice from the cauliflower as possible. If you don't, the bases may end up soggy. (The key here is to really get as much of that juice out as you can. Once you have done a round with the cheesecloth. Repeat with another dry cheesecloth to ensure you have removed a majority of the liquid. I managed to get 1 1/2 cups of cauliflower juice).
