    i love them. for my hubby & kids I mix cauliflower in WITH their mashed potatoes (they didn't like it straight up even though I did). I also mix mashed up cauliflower in the kids mac & cheese (homemade) shhhh!!! don't tell them :) I encourage them to choose fresh fruits and veggies all the time but they get stuck in their list of what they like so for the other stuff I do resort to sneakiness.

    Ok, I tried it, and I guess it's a way to eat veggies that I can handle, but mashed potatoes it is not! I can still taste that cauliflower aftertaste. But, hey, at least I can get some more veggies in!

    I like these but have always had them made for me. Just heard someone mention on FB mashed cauliflower with radishes...Might have to try that too..

    I think the key with anything like this is not to expect it to taste like something else. If it does then and you like that thing then good but taste it for what it is and decide then. Spelt bread is goofy tasting if you think it is going to taste like white bread. If you just clear your mind of what it should taste like...and you toast it...it is actually quite tasty.

    I like the idea of mixing it into foods. The kids like hamburger helper type meals (my own creations...a box doesn't make enough for us anyway...four kids and married to a fireman...hard to ever cook enough) but adding veggies always stretches out our meals and add some nutrition. While I never "hide" veggies that I mix in don't make a big deal about them unless asked. It has been a year since someone asked what the little orange things were in their ground beef. (always brown up a finely chopped carrot with ground beef)
