Cheesy Mashed Cauliflower

 

This is a delicious alternative to mashed potatoes.  You can get the same effect as mashed potatoes but with less carbs and a guarantee that you are getting a veggie serving.  This is great for kids who hate vegetables because they will probably never know that they are eating cauliflower!

Here's What You Need:

2 cups "riced" cauliflower

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tbs sour cream

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground black pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried parsley

3 tbs unsalted butter

Here's What You Do:

Ricing the cauliflower

Take one large, fresh head of cauliflower, remove stems and leaves, and cut into florets.  Put the florets into a food processor and puree until it looks like rice.  (Mine actually looks more like cous-cous).

Heat the cauliflower in the microwave for two minutes.  Immediately put into food processor and add all other ingredients.  Puree until smooth and creamy.
