Mashed Cauliflower

Members Were Sparked

After cooking the 12 oz. bag of cauliflower, I added minced garlic, one Laughing Cow Light Blue Cheese and 2 T of non-fat Greek yogurt. I mashed it using a potato masher(and mashed it and mashed it.) It was just as good and just as comforting as mashed potatoes for less than 75 calories per serving.

MORE INFORMATION:
I am going to try using a potato ricer which will give the cauliflower a fluffier texture.

fruits and veggies everywhere!

I try to sneak in two fruits and or veggies into every meal. Mashed cauliflower is one of my families favorites! And we never get the canned foods. If I cant grow it myself, then I get from a local grower or frozen. I want to make sure that my family gets the freshest and best!

Cauliflower is my best friend

I tried a recipe where you substituted cooked cauliflower for mashed potatoes and it was wonderful. Now I substitute cauliflower in all my potato recipes. So I thought, why not see what other things I could substitute cauliflower for that would be as good. I now use cauliflower as a substitute for pasta, with a low fat pasta sauce it is every bit as good as spaghetti or macaroni. This saves hundreds of calories and is really good.

MORE INFORMATION:
To substitute for mashed potatoes, just boil up a head of cauliflower, drain and mash. For a pasta substitute cook flowerettes, drain and use your favorite low fat sauces. Top with a bit of Parmesan.4
