I have so been thinking for several years about making mashed cauliflower.....you both talked me into it, sounds very yummy!
Other than that we are the carb household. Love me some carbs!
I envy you.
The only way I can keep my weight down is to limit the starches.
Love 'em but just can't eat them.
I recently moved and met a neighbor who started low carbing due to blood sugar issues. She brought me a dish using cauliflower as rice, with chicken, cheese, mushrooms and carrots. It was pretty good. I returned her dish filled with Faux Tatoes (mashed cauliflower with cream cheese and butter). She absolutely loved it. I think it’s a fantastic comfort food substitute.
One of my family’s favorite recipes is Ranch Dressing-
1 C mayo
1/2-1 C buttermilk
1 tsp white vinegar
2 cloves of garlic
parsley and chives- 1 Tbs or so each
Mix in a blender and refrigerate for flavor to develop and to thicken- about an hour.
Recently I found a spirilizer on sale in T.J. Maxx so grabbed it to try it. Well worth it at full price. It’s gotten a lot of use on zucchini as a substitute for pasta. I mix it with cod pieces from Trader Joe’s, butter, garlic, sun dried tomatoes and parm. cheese, squeeze of lemon. Quick, easy and delicious. Also very good with spaghetti sauce. My daughter especially likes zucchini fritters- an egg mixed with zucchini to hold it together, then fried in butter.
I’ve been low carbing mostly for about a decade and a half. I cheat a bit around holidays, but don’t really miss most carbs now, and lost my sweet tooth. It’s good to see a recipe thread devoted to low carb.
