      Yes, you can use fresh cauliflower. I just like the simplicity of the frozen and I usually have some on hand. 🙂

      Stephanie, almond milk would work fine. Cashew milk has a little bit of a creamier texture, but that would really be the only difference. And no, it would not change the fats.

    I made this last weekend. My new favorite dish. It is fulfilling but light on the stomach.

    I did not use Herbamare, but have ordered some. Thanks for posting this delightful recipe, Mamashire. You, obviously, rock!

    Can I use coconut milk? Can’t have nuts.

      Hi Jennifer, I’m looking at a can of full fat coconut milk and it looks like you would be able to use 1 cup of it and still be able to keep it an E. More than that and it would take it into a crossover. Lite coconut milk and the carton coconut milk would not have as much fat so you may be able to use more of them and keep it an E. Just check the fat in the serving size. You need to watch the fat in the beef and the coconut milk to keep it under 5 grams per serving. Or just don’t add any milk and it will be a soup instead of a chowder.
