  • Cauliflower

    I just have to say, I have resisted trying the "mashed cauliflower" instead of potatoes for quite awhile. Recently having a cold and I couldn't smell as well, I decided it was the time to try it! I really enjoyed it and I think I could use "mashed cauliflower" as a substitute side dish! I already enjoy fresh cauliflower, that helps, I suppose.

    To decrease the sulfur-like smell of cauliflower and cabbage, add a whole bay leaf to while it's cooking. The bay leaf aroma covers up the smell.

      I cook mine in the microwave with no water, no bad smell at all.

            just boil cauliflower until really soft
            then add butter, cheese, and salt and pepper
            sometimes i use ranch dressing and butter
            Its one of those recipes you can play with!

                Add in 1/2 stick of cream cheese.........yummy!!
                I have a hard time "mashing" it so I do that in the food processor.

                  I use butter, cream cheese salt and pepper. Use a hand held immersion blender and they come out creamy creamy. Great stuff!

                    Well I made it last night and the family didn't care for it but I loved it.... The Wooshie pie on the other hand I really didn't like at all. But I think i'm going to play with the recipe a little and maybe come up with one I do enjoy.
                    BTW- I did jump down about 3 lbs hehehe
                    QUESTION; Can anyone tell me how many carbs are usually in the faux mashed patatos and wooshie pie?

                      I like the cauliflower with mayo

                      I add some milk when I boil it. Didn´t know about the basil. Will try next time!
