| Mashed Garlic Cauliflower |
The Husband was an Atkins guy for a while. Ginormous plates of Gorgonzola topped steak. 6 egg omelets with a pound of cheese. Bacon topped with mayonnaise. I exaggerate, but you get the idea. I went on a one woman crusade to get vegetables into his diet and ripped a recipe out of a magazine at the dentist's office (see below). I thought that there was no way Creamy Mashed Garlic Cauliflower would be appealing. I was wrong. It is one of the most requested side dishes by The Husband, My Oldest and My Middle One. Don't think No Thank You Boy eats this; he doesn't even like mashed potatoes.
The recipe is doubled in my house because it is devoured, and it makes a great leftover. It tastes the same as if just made when it is reheated. One warning though. Your kitchen will stink while the cauliflower is steaming. Open a window or put the exhaust fan on high.
Look. Here is the recipe I actually ripped out of the dentist's magazine. Hope I don't get charged extra.

Interesting, I'll be giving this a try. This is basically how I do turnips, so I have high hopes.
By the way, I got here through Tastespotting.com (just FYI).
Haha my mom makes these and calls them "surprise potatoes" - they're not bad!
I have always wanted to try making this! And I've never seen the Hellman's recipe, so I'm glad you posted it. Thanks!
Sally - thanks for visiting. I'm sure you will like them.
hillary - what a tricky mom you have.
elle - Hellman's is the very best!
At least I'm not the only one who has ripped out a page from a magazine at the dentist office. One time I actually stole a Gourmet magazine because every recipe in the mag was good!
I made this tonight, only I used broccoflower instead of regular cauliflower, so it came out pale green. It was quite good--thanks for posting this recipe!
krysta - I think I'm on the watch list at every dr's office I visit. my purse is full of torn out pages from their magazines.
rushmc - sounds good - i'll have to give it a try.
