I would love to try the pizza crust!

I make my faux mashed potatoes a little differently.
I boil my cauliflower till very tender. Drain and add a little cream cheese, butter and garlic powder. Beat with mixer or in blender. Blender makes it creamier but I don't mind a little texture. Sometimes, I skip the garlic and add shredded cheese. I like cheddar but mozzarella is just so darn creamy!

6 oz. Velveeta cheese
2 cups extra lean ham, cubes

2Tbsp butter
1/4 cup onion
2 Tbsp flour

Okay, here is one from Wheat Belly cookbook:

Better than mashed potatoes

1 Large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
2 oz cream cheese (the real stuff, not ff or lf)
2 tbsps Real butter
1/4 tsp sea salt

Place a steamer basket in a large pot with 2" of water. Bring to boil over high heat. Place the cauliflower in the basket and steam for 20 minutes, or until soft.

Remove from heat and drain. In a blender or food processor, combine the cauliflower, cream cheese, butter and salt. Blend or process until smooth.

Enjoy!

just because you take out potatoes doesn't make that good for you...butter and cream cheese? "Real" kind?

No thanks.

Just tried roasted cauliflower the other day..it was delicious and i hate cauliflower lol

Take a couple of cups of cauliflower two tablespoons of soy sauce a a tablespoon of olive oil teaspoon of sugar and a half teaspoon of black pepper.
Mix all those in a big bowl and marinate for 20 minutes stirring it once halfway through.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees...lay the cauliflower out on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes...
If u leave ot in much longer it will get too soft. Great snack. 2 weight watchers points per serving!

my favorite recipe.....

Ingredients
1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets, about 4 cups
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted - I substitue for olive oil
1 tablespoon Frank's Red Hot Original, plus more to taste
1/2 cup sour cream - I use plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise - I use homemade mayo
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
3 ounces good-quality blue cheese (such as Roquefort), crumbled

Procedures
1
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the cauliflower florets with the olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt. Roast, turning once halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender browned in spots, about 35 minutes.

2
Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, and blue cheese in a small food processor or blender and pulse until combined. Alternatively, in a small bowl, stir all ingredients together with a fork, breaking up any large chunks of blue cheese as you go.

3
Mix together the melted butter and Frank's Red Hot in a large bowl. Add the cauliflower and toss to combine. Serve the immediately with blue cheese dressing.
