| Spinning Cyster! :) Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Chicago ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Yes! I've boiled the heck out of cauliflower and mashed it up, added a little salt, pepper, chives, and a little milk. My mom adds cream cheese instead of milk. Neither recipes tastes exactly like mashed potatoes, but I don't mind them (I like plain steamed cauliflower). The ones with cream cheese are definitely creamier and have more of a mashed potato consistency, but the downside is that they have more fat. Oh. . .and this may be TMI. . .but this can be a really gassy food!

| Spinning Cyster! :) Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Chicago ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Correction. . .my mom makes it by mashing the cauliflower and adding 4-6 oz of LIGHT cream cheese and a little chives. She said that she sometimes adds a little garlic if she feels like it. As a left-over variation, she sprinkles cheddar cheese on top.

| Registered User | I steam cauliflower then mash and mix with 1 or 2 wedges of laughing cow light (any flavor), depending on how much cauliflower I made, a big tbs of light sour cream and salt and pepper. This is delicious. |

| Lurking from Cloud9 :-) | South Beach diet style: NGREDIENTS * 4 cups cauliflower florets * 1 ounce butter flavored cooking spray (like I can't believe it's not butter) * 1 fluid ounce fat-free half-and-half (skim milk is a good sub) * Pinch salt * Pinch freshly ground black pepper DIRECTIONS Steam or microwave the cauliflower until soft. Puree in a food processor, adding the butter spray and the half-and-half to taste. Season with salt and pepper. You could also steam the cauliflower on the stove top -- steaming preserves more nutrients than boiling. We don't measure the amounts any more... and have tried it with both fresh and frozen cauliflower. -Tia

| Missing Daniel & Sweetpea Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Wisconsin by way of VT ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | WAYYYY too much fat in this recipe, but it can be cut down with lower fat/nonfat cream cheese and other cheeses, and a lower fat cream. Mockafoni & Cheese 1 bag frozen cauliflower, cooked 3 oz cream cheese 2 T heavy cream 1 cup shredded cheddar Preheat oven 350. Pour little cream in bottom of baking dish and add handful of cheddar. Place cream, cream cheese and remaining cheese in microwave safe dish and microwave until all can be stirred together easily. Pour drained cauliflower into baking dish (while cauliflower still hot). Pour cheese mixture over and stir well to mix. Sprinkle some Parmesan over top. Bake 35 min; allow to stand few minutes. Total: 20 carb, 10 fiber (10 NET carbs), 963 Calories, 76 fat, 45 protein. Serves 2 as main dish and 4 as side dish
