    you will be disappointed. I tried this and it was just mushy cauliflower... but here it is if you want it

    1 head cauliflower
    1/8 cup skim milk
    Salt & pepper
    Paprika

    Cook cauliflower until fork tender. Place cauliflower (in pieces), skim milk, salt and pepper in blender. Whip until smooth. Pour cauliflower into small baking dish. Sprinkle with paprika and bake in hot oven until bubbly.

    Good luck

    I just boil it until tender, mash it with a masher, add a little milk/ 1/2 & 1/2, or whatever and a little butter or butter flavored cooking spray then some grated parmesean cheese. Yummy!! And even the kids love it - of course I made them get over their aversion to cauliflower early on :laugh: They really like it now and love my mashed cauliflower. Just don't be thinkin' it will have similar taste/texture to mashed potatoes. NOT - but still very yummy!

    I steam mine adding a few cloves of garlic until real tender and just mash it spray butter or sometimes I use olivio salt and pepper if you like. If you add any liquid sometimes it is too watery. I also put low fat gray on mine...just like homemade....

    neufchatel (low fat cream cheese) mixed in is really good. makes them creamy. I think they would be bad with skim milk:sick:

    I added some shredded cheese, and they were GOOD
