As a mom on a mission to get my family eating healthy I have had to find ways to mask the dreaded "is this vegetables" question. Tonight was no exception and I am so proud of the way my "mashed potatoes" turned out that I decided to share my recipe and give other parents hope that you too can enjoy clean eating and have your kids eat too. If you are a parent who was blessed with a child that either eats anything you give him/her or loves their veggies then this is just another alternative to add to your weekly menu.
You can tweak this recipe as I have done because just googling it you will find many variations. I tried to make it as healthy as I could so if you hate low fat you can use whole fat it doesn't matter
Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes:
INGREDIENTS:
1 med/large head of cauliflower
1TBS reduced fat cream cheese
1/4 cup of Low Fat Grated Parmesan
1/2 TBS Chicken Stock
1/2TBS Chives (optional) I prefer fresh but you can use dry
Directions:
Boil a large pot of water (about 7 cups)
Clean the cauliflower
Cut the cauliflower into small pieces
Place the cauliflower into the boiling water
Boil the Cauliflower for 8-10 minutes
Once boiled drain the water
On a plate lay 2 sheets of paper towel
Using a spoon take the cauliflower out of the pot and place on the paper towel to dry it
As you dry place in the food processor
Keep repeating until all cauliflower has been dried
Add your ingredients: cream cheese, parmesan, chicken stock, chives
Use your food processor to combine all all ingredients
Make sure all the cauliflower is combined and that there are minimal to no lumps (fools the kids better)
Serve
