There's no reason eating right means eating boring. For this meal, we're bringing you both cream and butter, two of the most decadent things around. And yet, it's calorie-conscious and carb-conscious! How do we do such magic? Never mind that, just enjoy the flavor of these fresh peppers and cream, paired with cauliflower doused in butter and lime. Leave boredom to the other calorie counters.
Tip: If you're looking for the right texture for the sauce, dip a spoon in and see how well it sticks to the back. If it coats, you're good to go.
