Cauliflower "Mashed potatoes"You guys have probably figured out by now that cauliflower is one of my favorite things that God gave to this earth. Not only is it packed full of nutrients, but it’s also just so dang versatile! Cauliflower pizza, cauliflower rice, cauliflower soup, roasted cauliflower and…. these Cauliflower “Mashed potatoes.” This cruciferous veggie is just the best in my book. Plus, “with its rich supply of health-promoting phytochemicals, high level of anti-inflammatory compounds, and ability to ward off cancer, heart disease, brain disease, and even weight gain.” (Dr. Axe) I mean, we could just call this veggie a SUPERHERO. 

Although I eat potatoes, I actually try to avoid them as much as possible because I feel very inflamed after I eat them. Cauliflower seems to be my substitute of choice and these “mashed potatoes” go well with anything really. These Cauliflower “Mashed Potatoes” are a fantastic side dish with fantastic flavor! Enjoy!

  1. You should check out Hannah sweet potatoes from WF. They have a white skin and flesh and have just a faint sweetness, much less than a regular sweet potato! So good mashed or cubed for soups/stews!

  2. Making these RN and can’t wait to enjoy. These defined dish recipes have truly turned my whole30 experience into a festival of flavor!!
