I grew up eating traditional meat and potato meals with my family. And while I still love those dishes, I want to satisfy my cravings in a healthier way. After experimenting in the kitchen, I was so surprised by how delicious mashed cauliflower could taste.
The veggie’s color and texture mimic butter- and cream-filled potatoes—but with much less fat and far fewer calories. The best part? The dish is so easy to make that it has become a home-cooked favorite for my holiday dinners (and the rest of the year, too). It’s a hit with everyone. Even babies and toddlers love it!
Check out my quick and easy cauliflower mash recipe and swap out your spuds this Thanksgiving. I’ll bet no one will guess that this side is a skinny alternative, since it doesn’t forgo taste or home-cooked flavor.
