These were a huge success at our New Year’s Day gathering

 

 

 

I was inspired by Buttery Garlic Mushrooms {lo carb & Keto} from source and Roasted Cauliflower Salad from Women’s Day to make

 

Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with Killer Mushroom Cream

 

 

 

Instant Pot White Chicken Chili from Sweet and Savory Meals was my first recipe made in my new Instant Pot.  It was a huge success both in preparation and taste! I added extra corn plus a can of creamed corn for even more goodness

You can make this in a slow cooker too or stove top, directions included in the post

 

 

 

 

Broccoli & Cheese Stuffed Spaghetti Squash from Domestic Superhero was the inspiration for
