Mashed cauliflower

Posted on

So if your kiddos are like lil monsters you have to sometimes sneak veggies on them…here’s a super easy way and taste so much like mashed potatoes you may even be able to fool an adult! My kiddos were clueless and to quote my 7 year old monster: “Mommy these are the best mashed potatoes ever!”

I kind of winged it, but it was easier than I thought. I cut up two small/medium cauliflower crowns put it in a microwave safe bowl, added a little water, and covered it with Saran wrap. I steamed it in the microwave until it was fork tender. It took about 10-12 minutes for this process. I drained the excess water and threw the cauliflower in my ninja blender, I added a little 2% milk, melt (organic butter alternative), some “no salt”, and a few tablespoons of the cream cheese (add the milk, butter, salt, & cream cheese to taste). Then blended until it was smooth. It was seriously that easy!

Optional: I have read that some people also add a few potatoes or even instant potatoes to give it more of a potato consistency. I chose to not add the potatoes and I was happy with the cauliflower consistency.
