    Happy new Year from Chicago!
    This past Thanksgiving I prepared MASHED CAULIFLOWER WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND GARLIC. Lots of variations can be found on the web. :flowerforyou:

    Also try Mashed Parsnips.. they are super yummy. boil them and mash them up and add some salt pepper. i added tarragon and roasted garlic with a little olive oil.. so good.. and they have a good amount of fiber in them!

    This is the one I use and I absolutely love it.....

    What you will need:

    1 head of cauliflower
    1 tablespoon of cream cheese
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic
    1/2 teaspoon of salt
    5 or so dashes of pepper
    Chives for garnish

    Directions:

    Wash and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Boil in a pot of water for about 10-15 minutes or until soft and cooked.
    Drain and dry using paper towels. Immediately place in food processor or blender. You do not want the cauliflower to cool.
    Puree the cauliflower with the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper.
    Sprinkle the top with chives and a few dashes of pepper. Serve!

    Now THIS sounds good!!! :-)

    This is almost exactly the one I use, it is incredible! I save it and heat it up for lunch everyday with a half ounce of cheddar melted into it.

    My recipe has a few different steps to it but the result I feel is superior to mashed potatoes in every way. Even if I wasn't doing keto I'd probably still pick this over mashed potatoes!

    You take a head of cauliflower and trim off the florets, leaving the stems behind (I usually save those to blanch for a snack later). This you boil in a pot of heavily salted beef broth. Boil it until it's nearly mushy in texture. Strain out the florets and mash them well. Add to a hot pan with 1 tbsp butter and stir and mash until all excess water is evaporated. By now the cauliflower should be a slurry. Remove from heat, stir in 2 ounces cream cheese and serve. If I have leftovers I make them into little balls, freeze them, then bread them with ground pork rinds and fry them for a meal the next day. :)

    I actually love mashed cauliflower! You can make pizza crusts from mashed cauliflower as well as use it for a vegetable style pancake :)

    I love mashed cauliflower, but lately I've gotten lazy I think, I just eat the cauliflower whole.

    I use olive oil instead of butter and add parmesan cheese. It's really good.
