Mac and cheese makeover

Here's how you can make a classic "junky" dinner somewhat redeemable:

1 23oz bag frozen bodek cauliflower
1 nice sized onion
4 tbsp butter (approximately)
2 13oz boxes of whole wheat elbows
2 c milk (approximately)
1 8oz bag shredded cheddar cheese

Let the frozen cauliflower totally defrost. Dice up onion and sautee it in the butter. I used one of those tnuva mini butter rectangles, which I think is about 4 tbsp. Squeeze out the water from the defrosted cauliflower, chop it up, and sautée it in the butter and onions.

Put the sautéed onion-butter-cauli mix into a blender with about 2c milk and blend the heck out of it until it's smooth. Then pour in the 8oz bag of cheddar and blend that up, too. I had to add a few splashes of milk to get the cheddar all blended in. Sprinkle in salt and pepper and garlic, to taste. You will be left with a creamy, warm, pale orange sauce.

Cook the whole wheat elbows and drain them, then add the sauce. serve!

Yum! Everyone loved it!
