mock mashed potatoes

anyone interested in a low-cal AND low-carb alternative to mashed potatoes? use cauliflower!!! I swear it tastes SO close to mashed potatoes!!!

the entire thing is about 200 calories!!!!

2-10oz. pkgs frozen cauliflower or fresh 3/4 head
1tsp chicken bouillion granules
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp. minced onion flakes
2 Tbs. butter
2Tbs cream

Preheat oven to 375 Cook cauliflower until very done fall apart fork tender. Drain WELL and mix cauliflower with all other ingredients except the cream. Using a hand mixer or a food processor
You must be careful adding liquid Don't get it too moist.
Spray an ovenproof dish with cooking spray and put mixture in it. Add pats of extra butter on top if you like an extra buttery potato and a bit of paprika sprinkled on top adds nice color as well
Bake 15-20 min. until hot.
For those of you who think they would not like this dish because they are not fans of cauliflower I implore you to try it. you'll be hard pressed to tell it from mashed potatoes.

Can I do it with a veg. type bullion do you think? I don't do animals... but it sounds reaaally good, and if it tricks FH into eating cauliflower I'll be forever indebted to you.

you know what...I didn't even put the boullion in!!! lol

so you can leave it out...

the woman I got the recipe from...said that she gave it to her DH and didn't tell him it was cauliflower...and he was fooled...


I could taste a little tinge of cauliflower though...
