cauliflower crazy

cauliflower mash.

i've made this before, but failed a couple of times.

in the past, i used a hand electric mixer, which didn't quite give that creamy consistency that i wanted.

recently both the blender and food processor that we received as wedding gifts broke, 

and kevin surprised me with a ninja blender, which has a tall blade.

i'm forever changed. i love that blender.

for this recipe you'll need a tall blade blender or a food processor.

two 16 oz bags of frozen cauliflower.

steam with water on stove top until very tender.

drain all water and transfer cauliflower to your blender. 

add a couple of pats of real butter, a couple spoon fulls of sour cream, a dash of salt,
and some black pepper.

blend away.

{other optional ingredients might include greek yogurt, cream cheese, dry ranch mix.
top with cheese, sour cream, bacon and/or green onions}. 

i won't lie and say they taste just like mashed potatoes, but the taste is so close it's crazy, and the consistency is just like mashed potatoes.

i might have been licking the spoon and dancing around the kitchen.

a perfect substitute in my book.

enjoy.

love,

nicolle
