lil carb Cheese Sauce

Taking a pic of cheese sauce covered veggies is not as
easy as it looks. You're going to have to trust me
that this cheese sauce is bangin'- the bbq chicken in the
background is trying to photobomb but the
cheese covered cauliflower just steals the whole show.

I think one of the reasons a low carb diet suits me so well is because I can eat cheese. Cheese is such a wonderful thing. I use cheese in a lot of my dishes and while you can certainly leave it out, why would you want to? If you are not a cheese person you should proceed to the exit because this recipe is full of cheesy goodness.  I have used this as my go-to cheese sauce for awhile now and almost forgot to post the recipe. With this base you can also add in different kinds of  cream cheese and shredded cheeses to create a custom sauce tailored to whatever flavors you are going for! Even for a non low carb diet this sauce is so good! I have listed at the bottom some of the ways you can enjoy this sauce but by customizing your favorite cheeses the possibilities are endless!
