Greetings! Do you like mashed potatoes but don’t eat them because you know they are a carb heavy food? How about trying cauliflower as a substitute….Cauliflower? Yep, cauliflower! We visited friends yesterday who also follow a low carb lifestyle and they made mashed cauliflower with parsnips. They tasted great and while I know it’s not really mashed potatoes, they totally satisfied my craving. My friend steamed a head of chopped cauliflower with about a cup of parsnips (which add a slight sweetness) until soft. She then drained them, added a bit of smart balance, salt and pepper and then mashed them (immersion blender works well). Delicious! Another taste option is to add some cheese on top. Yum! She also made dark chocolate chip cookies with almond flour by following the recipe on the back of the Bob’s Red Mill package. Also delicious and filling as well – I had two of em! And best of all, low in carbs! It was a winner of a dinner – thank you dear friends! We’ll be coming back for more. Wishing you a healthy, enjoyable low carb week. Till next time……
