Healthy Eats - Garlic Cauliflower Breadsticks

Those who know me understand my love to bake. It helps me reduce stress. Something about following all the steps, keeping my mind from going to my many to-do lists. You know the Walmart list, the grocery list, the house project list, the I want to cook list etc. What you don't have that many lists??? Call it the type A personality in me, but baking helps. Well not for the waistline so I bring it all in to work and make them suffer!! ;)

Needless to say I am trying to COOK more, I tend to cook once on Sunday and reheat during the week. It keeps me on track for eating healthy, but ANYHOO!!! So in my desire to find healthy alternatives and low cal favorites to mix into my everyday cooking I turn to Pinterest! Who doesn't?? You are in the dark ages my friend if you haven't jumped on the bandwagon... so what are you waiting for... go, go NOW!

So this past weekend I wanted to find a healthy alternative to pizza or breadsticks. What did I find?? Garlic Cauliflower breadsticks! Say What? Yeah that was my thought exactly! How can cauliflower taste like pizza?

So my inspiration for this was here:

Original Version and recipe: http://pinterest.com/pin/246009198366175644/


Here is how my version came out:

 

 

 

I followed the recipe almost exactly (missus a little of the cheese).  My only side note is the next time I make it, I might put it under the broiler for a few minutes to make it a little crisper.  It was a little on the soft side so it made it harder to hold like a breadstick. Otherwise it was totally YUM and I will make it again for sure!
