Low-Carb Shirataki-roni & Cheese

If you like macaroni & cheese, then try this low-carb shirataki recipe!

Macaroni & cheese. Mmmmmmm. For those of you who have read my book, you know how much I used to LOVE and adore this delicious high-carb treat before I started livin' la vida low-carb. It was its own food group for me and I liked it that way.

But, when the low-carb life became my permanent way of eating, mac & cheese was a thing of the past. Not anymore!

Displaying the versatility of the latest health food trend, the ever-present shirataki noodles make for an excellent way to enjoy this classic American dish without all the unnecessary carbs associated with regular pasta. Made with the House Foods brand of tofu shirataki, I have the perfect recipe from Elaine at Low Carb Connoisseur and like to call it shirataki-roni & cheese that you are sure to call YUMMY!
