Here's the recipe that I use and I absolutely love them

Mock Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients
1 medium head of cauliflower (I used a 16 oz. frozen bag)
1 tablespoon fat free cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup fat free grated Parmesan (I used the sprinkle kind like you put over spaghetti sauce)
1 clove minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon fat free chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons fat free butter or margarine spread ( I used the brand Smart Squeeze)

Instructions
Set a stockpot of water to boil over high heat
Clean and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Cook in boiling water for about 6 minutes, or until well done. Drain well, do not let cool and pat cooked cauliflower until very dry between several layers of paper towels.
In a food processor (or like me in a bowl with a regular electric mixer) puree the hot cauliflower with the cream cheese, parmesan, garlic, chicken broth, and pepper until almost smooth (or as smooth as you like). Garnish with chives. Yummy!!!

There are some good recipes on these posts, but I kinda like this one for a starter, I think the cream cheese , and parmesan , and garlic, would make a big difference. Going to town tomorrow and will fix this for supper. Thanks:flowerforyou:
