"LowCarb Mashed Cauli-taters Here's a terrific substitute for mashed potatoes, which everyone loves and, of course, are absolute diet-busters. Instead of potatoes, steam some cauliflower, either fresh or frozen. Once it's soft, mash it with a little liquified butter, or for fat watchers, a butter substitute. (I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! tastes terrific and has no bad trans-fatty acids.) Mix in a little cream, or for the calory counters..a nonfat half-and-half substitute, which also tastes good and is healthy. Salt and pepper to taste, and you've got something that quite honestly can compete any day with the real thingy.Carlo --- I use Fat-Free or Low-Fat cream cheese and sour cream when I mash these 'taters', along with a 'good' butter or Butter Buds. Also, I add dried chives and when I want them really special --- some of those 'real bacon bits'.
Even a DDIL who doesn't like cauliflower, had two helpings, and said SHE would make them at home!
Even a DDIL who doesn't like cauliflower, had two helpings, and said SHE would make them at home! I agree, I have never eaten so much Cauliflower as I do now, and I love it.. They are so versatile as they pick up all of the flavor in whatever they are added to..
