ingredients

• 1 medium head cauliflower
• 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened

• 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic (minced)

This is such a great idea! I am trying to lose weight and loved the idea of a vegetable that doesn't taste like one. Loved the recipe! I used Philadelphia Garden Vegetable cream cheese as a sub, I was out of plain. Also sea salt instead of nu-salt.

This is a great alternative for mashed potatoes if like me you can't have them they make my bloods go sky high also if you are just on a diet and want to keep your starch down. I have made this a lot but not quite the same as this recipe I like the addition of the cheese it's got a bit more flavour. I cook mine in the micro with just a wee bit of water it means the cauliflower is not quite as wet as when you boil it, A very nice recipe thank you for posting.
