Netflix strikes again.

OMG. We watched Bird Box last Saturday night and we must say it was intense. But we don’t even think intense is the right word. The movie grabs you by the jugular, holds on and doesn’t let go until the end.

We will say Sandra Bullock is on point in the movie. And we're still questioning John Malkovich’s random appearance but if you like suspense mixed with a little horror/sci-fi this movie is for you.

Besides giving us crazy dreams this movie also had us wanting to prepare for the end of the world. We feel like we need to have a stock pile of survival goods on hand in case something does go wrong. Does La Croix count as an essential Item?

If you do end up watching this movie we highly recommend having something to nibble on to keep you slightly distracted. This Roasted Cauliflower Carbonara will do the trick. Roasted cauliflower tossed with a killer carbonara sauce and then poured over udon noodles. OMG.

You can certainly use whatever noodles you have on hand, but we are having a moment with udon noodles. Udon noodle is a thick wheat noodle used commonly in Japan. They are simple to find at your local grocery store just look for the international aisle and more than likely they are nestled next to the pad Thai noodles.

So are you are ready to Netflix and chill? If yes, you might need a bucket of this Roasted Cauliflower in front of your face.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
