JFC. I’m sorry OP. Lots of folks missing the point. Sounds like this is in the past now, but. I’d add some panko bread crumbs to the cauliflower. And no, it is not a carb, so Intend to agree with folks that said warm bread and butter. I’d do a baguette personally.

That IS the carb, OP. You need lean protein and greens to round out the meal.

Cauliflower is not a high-carb food. It's a vegetable.


DP. It functions as the carb in the meal though. It's replacing potatoes in the gratin. It's the carb side dish. I would generally pair it with a protein, but no judgment if someone want to eat it with carbs. Nothing springs to mind, though. If I wanted a carb I would probably just turn it into a cauliflower gratin pasta bake.

If you renamed the dish to "cheesy cauliflower", does it turn back into a vegetable so OP can have some bread with her comfort food?


It's still a carb side. She can have bread with it if she wants.

+1
Cauliflower has only 5g of carbs per cup. Broccoli has 6g. Considering OP was going for comfort and not low-carb, I suggest a toasted roll with butter.

Maybe some toasted garlic bread.

I don't think I could eat a carb with cheesy cauliflower, but if I were forced, I'd make some post-thanksgiving stove top stuffing.

This. I wouldn’t eat a carb with this.


Agreed, I'd do a green (but not brassica, maybe a green salad).

Hmm. I’d do either some crusty bread drizzled with olive oil and toasted under the broiler, or maybe some egg noodles? And a simple green salad.

my Thanksgiving was a dud and I’m going to make myself a cheesy cauliflower gratin tonight for comfort food. What carb should go alone with it???
