I feel like I'm always looking for variety in my food. We have never had a certain night a week for a particular dish - that would drive me nuts! Plus, I love too many different foods and flavors to have that satisfy me. So here is a recipe my family loves that gives us a little something different for a side dish that is also processed free. We have been making mashed cauliflower for a few years now, and even my daughter would eat this when she was just a baby, in fact she couldn't get enough of it. I also think it's nice to vary the vegetables you are eating (not just mashed potatoes) to get different vitamins and minerals. I hope you like this too!
1 head of cauliflower
1 Tbsp. butter
4 oz. cream cheese (I like Neufchatel)
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup coconut milk or regular milk
pepper
Steam the cauliflower so that it becomes tender. Place everything in a food processor and blend until smooth or use an immersion blender. I actually use the immersion blender so that I don't dirty more bowls, but I think the food processor might just get it a little smoother.
You can also use a package of frozen cauliflower, cook it then blend everything together. I'll often do this if I need a quick side and don't have fresh cauliflower.
