What's in that Bowl? Creamy Mashed Garlic Cauliflower of Course.

Mashed Garlic Cauliflower

A favorite side dish at our kitchen table is Creamy Mashed Garlic Cauliflower. It ranks right up there with Mashed Potatoes and Macaroni and Cheese.

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.
