Mashed cauliflower

Francl27

Come on, you know you love cauliflower... Well, I do, and I found the perfect ingredients for delicious mashed cauliflower. That's my new favorite way of eating it now...

1 cauliflower
45g of cream cheese (I used low fat) - about 2.5 tbsp
salt and pepper

That's it. Boil the cauliflower until tender (I tend to overcook it a bit so it's very easy to mash), drain, add cream cheese, salt and pepper, and mash. It's creamy and delicious... I could have eaten the whole thing (I only ate half, the whole thing is like 250 calories, 16g of protein).

:drinker: I love cauliflower, thanks for not calling it mashed "potatoes". Anyway, I've been seeing a commercial for mashed potatoes using a packet of ranch dressing mix, I think I may try this with that dressing packet next week!

A little better then the skinnytaste site since they are freezer bound for a little, makes them easier to work with, enjoy!

I steam mine (1/2 head), add 1 tbsp. plain 2% greek yogurt, 1 tbsp. olive oil, and a 1/2 tsp. savory, with salt and pepper to taste. Just like potatoes with sour cream! I love it. 170 cals!

Definitely trying this. I've been looking for new and interesting side dishes that are low carb for me but that my SO can enjoy as well.
