Default Delicious Sauce!

I was bored of broccoli with butter so I decided to make up some sauce and it came out sooooo yummy! My boyfriend loved it too. Here's the recipe:

Garlic Cheddar sauce

1 cup soy milk (heavy cream would probably work just as well if not better)
2-3 tablespoons light cream cheese
1 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon cornstarch (or a similar thickener lower in carbs)
1 sprinkle each of salt, black pepper and oregano (sorry I didn't measure out the spices!)

Heat milk and crushed garlic over medium heat until hot. Add cream cheese and cheddar cheese, stir frequently until melted, bring to a very light boil. Mix cornstarch with 1-2 tablespoons of cold water. Whisk cornstarch mixture into sauce, reduce heat to low or take saucepan off heat, continue stirring until sauce thickens (it takes less than half a minute). Sauce will thicken slightly more as it cools. Add salt, black pepper and oregano to taste.

This sauce is divine over steamed fresh broccoli and sprinkled with a slice of crumbled bacon!!!

I put this recipe into fitday (using the soymilk) and it's only 13 net carbs! (16 total carbs). It's quite flavorful so you don't need much in a serving. I used 1/4 cup for my big pile of broccoli so it was only 3.25 carbs, yum!
