    Granolagrl, what shepard's pie recipe did you use? i've stumbled across several all with mashed cauliflower on the top. I've yet to make a mashed cauliflower that lived up to it's "mashed potato substitute" name. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong?
    Well, if you think of it as a 'substitute', it'll never quite fill the bill. It's a food in its' own right, and has a similar mouth feel as potato mash. ;)

    That's true, I try not to think "this is going to taste like mashed potatoes!" but even though I LOVE cauliflower, I still have been finding it bland when "mashed". Might have something to do with the water content. It's strange to me I guess, because I love cauliflower any other way hehe, even raw & plain!

    I made this for breakfast:

    Ridiculously easy, "restaurant-quality" according to my husband, and it looks so pretty and appealing too.

    I add scallions and garlic to my mashed cauliflower... even my potato eating friends are obsessed with it!

    Similar to mine. I add a gob of buttter, a splash of coconut milk and garlic salt, and blend it with a food wand. It whips up smooth and creamy - garlicky and buttery.

    Yum!

    I always add some cloves of garlic, the scallions are a great idea, I've got some sitting in my fridge now!
  • Sweet potato and an egg for the top. Cashew butter, stock, and some coconut flour for the sauce.
  • I lied. It was acorn squash.
