1 51 oz (3lb 3oz) Clams -- found 'em cheapest at Costco
1 head cauliflower-cubed
2 med onions-chopped
4 tsp bacon fat
1 qt half and half
2 pt whipping cream/heavy cream

Cook onion in bacon fat until clear not brown. Add cauliflower, clam juice, half and half and cream. Cook 20 minutes or until cauliflower is done. Add clams and stir. Salt and Pepper to taste.

My husband said the recipe could have used more cauliflower so you may want to add an extra 1/2 a head or so. I cut up and threw in the bacon too. You can also use a old jar and just collect your bacon grease so you'll have it when you need it. Saves a little time. Keep it refridgerated of course. The original recipe calls for entirely half and half. I used half whipping cream to cut down on carbs. I was afraid to ruin it and try it with all whipping cream. My local grocery store doesn't have heavy cream or I would have used that. Be sure not to add the clams too early, they'll get tough. I add them right before serving. Also, I use Morton's Nature's Season Seasoning Blend instead of salt and pepper.

If anyone tries any other substitutions to cut down on the carbs, please let me know.
