Now stay with me. :) I know the word cauliflower doesn't exactly conjure up a party for your taste buds, but this recipe was definitely a winner. It's meant to take the place of mashed potatoes, and to be perfectly honest - it really does. Like anything you eat that is a substitute - it's not ever going to be exactly the same. Creamy loaded mashed potatoes are delish, but it's up to you - do you want to have cauliflower puree that not only has a great flavor but will allow you to be successful at your weigh in - or do you want not to button your pants tomorrow? Your call. :) Keep your expectations realistic, and know the choices you are making really do matter.
Servings: 2-3 cups - separate it any way you want.
WW Points for the whole dish: 3pts
Ingredients:
- one 20oz bag of frozen cauliflower - you could obviously use fresh, but it's really expensive right now
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 TB of heavy whipping cream
- 1 TB of light butter (I use Brummel and Browns)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
- steam cauliflower and garlic together
- pour in cream & butter
- put in food processor until smooth and creamy. A blender or hand blender would also work. If you don't have one of those three - I HIGHLY recommend getting one. Immediately. It allows you to make so many things so much better.
- salt and pepper until it tastes good to you!
OBVIOUSLY this would increase your points, but depending on what you're making for dinner or how many points you have left for the day...here are some options for you to make these "loaded".
- chopped green onions or chives
- shredded cheese (2pts per 1/4 cup)
- bacon (3 slices, 4pts)
- fat free sour cream
