Salvaging Mock Mashed Potatoes

Gwilson939

I started to try this recipe once, but as I was chopping the cauliflower, I tossed some of the bits into my mouth and discovered that I REALLY liked it raw the best! Since then, I've been addicted to raw cauliflower.. and I never really liked cauliflower before!! My taste buds have really changed since cutting out all the overly refined and sugary stuff. I may try some of the cauliflower recipes again if I can make the recipe go farther than the raw bits that I'm loving!

I was of the understanding that boiling it works better than steaming for this dish, and a food processor perhaps.. Although, I will likely just use my Ninja,.. since it chops ice cubes into snow, the cauliflower should not be much of a challenge, especially if I cook it first.


Here's a recipe page where the author is a chef and is, if fact, a chef who promotes healthy eating! I have her cookbook and some of her spices.. Yummy!!

Here's another website that I bookmarked that has some awesome recipes too:

And HER recipe for Fauxtatoes-mashed cauliflower:

The recipes that I've tried from these two sites have exploded my taste buds in delight!!

If you don't have a food processor, perhaps someone on Craigs list might have one to sell? My former DIL buys tons of stuff on CraigsList.. She checks there before heading to the store.. but she has six kids to support, so she has to watch her dollars very carefully.... Buy used before new, at her house.. (She's so addicted to CraigsList, she even has a CraigsList app on her phone!)

It's just a thought!!
