Loaded for lunch - Loaded Cauliflower Bowls

This is what I had for lunch last week - loaded cauliflower bowls. My coworkers were actually sick of me exclaiming over how much I loved my lunch every day.

It couldn't have been easier to prepare, and it was mildly healthy to boot. Even better, you can make it healthier if that's your bag.

Ingredients 
3 bags frozen cauliflower (you can use fresh, I had frozen on hand)
about 1/2 cup of cooked, chopped bacon (more or less to taste)
1/4 cup sour cream
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 TBS butter
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder

Directions
Steam cauliflower in microwave according to directions. If you're using fresh, steam for 5 minutes, stir, steam for another 5. Drain well.

Put cauliflower, sour cream, butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl. Using an immersion blender or potato masher, mix and mash. I used the immersion blender and left my cauliflower a little chunky, because I like it like that. Divide among containers if using for lunch.

Top with bacon, cheese, and green onion. If serving right away, throw it in the oven for a few to melt the cheeses. Otherwise, pop it into the microwave at lunch and enjoy!

And hey - thank a veteran - today and every day.

What's your favorite healthy-ish lunch?
