Recipe: Cauliflower Mash


Cauliflower Mash

I love cauliflower but my husband hates it. Sorry, hate is a strong word. It's more like a great dislike for cauliflower. However, he does like cauliflower mash because it's almost like mashed potatoes.

Here's my recipe:

Ingredients

1 - 2 heads of Cauliflower. (1 is more than enough for my husband and I)
Olive Oil
Mrs. Dash Herb and Garlic
2 - 4 Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges. (I use the light)
Sour Cream
Skim Milk

Directions

1. Chop the cauliflower into smaller pieces.
2. On a roasting sheet, add cauliflower, a few tsp of olive oil, Mrs. Dash, salt and pepper.
3. Bake at 400 for 30 mins or until a beautiful golden brown.
4. Once cooked, add cauliflower, laughing cow cheese and sour cream (about a tbsp for every cup of cauliflower) to a food processor.
5. Slowly pour in about 1/2 cup of skim milk.
6. Season with salt and pepper.
If happy with the consistency, eat up. If you want it creamier, add more milk. If you want it chunkier, limit the milk.

I strongly suggest adjusting flavours to suit you. Add hot sauce or cumin and paprika for a different twist. For my lactose intolerant people, use vegetable stock with lactose free greek yogurt. Play with your food!

It's a wonderful day

It's been such a fantastic day. I stepped on the scale this morning to get my week one totals and I'm down 5.4 lbs. 

But that's not all. No that's not all. 

I needed dress pants for work. It was getting ridiculous. I went to Ricki's, my fave place for pants because they have short lengths. No hemming for this girl! Anyway, I went to Ricki's grabbed a bunch of size 6's and a few 4's. I decided to just try on the 4's, hoping for the best, I was successful! I couldn't believe. I nearly cried in the change room. I didn't cry but I did dance and I jumped up and down a little! Fantastic feeling! 

Anyways, food today was excellent. I started to detox phase and it's going well. Mashed chick peas for breakfast tomorrow has me a little worried. Did most of my grocery shop, need a few more things but I'll get that tomorrow. 

Breakfast was fruit which I are out of a plastic container on my way to church. Lunch was a microgreen salad which is normal today had avocado. Yum. And dinner was delicious. I mixed everything together into a big bowl and it was perfect. 

After freezing my butt off at Le Husband's soccer game I am ready for bed. Til we meet again.
