Cauliflower Mash


CAULIFLOWER MASH

Ingredients:
1 head of cauliflower
garlic cloves
2 bay leafs
3 cups water
1 tbs butter
1tsp salt
milk if needed

Directions:
Put water, bay leafs, garlic cloves in crockpot
Cut up the heads of the cauliflower. {I cut them medium sized}
Place cauliflower in crockpot
Cook on high 2-3 hours, low 4-5 hours
Remove bay leafs and garlic cloves
Drain water

Mash cauliflower with potato masher (I did not have a masher so I used my blender.. this did not work easy but once I figured out to grate it and move it around, it came out perfect)
You want to mash until the texture is what you are looking for
Add milk if you need to but add it by the little. I did add milk to mine so it would blend better

Notes:
I loved this. At first the flavor and texture took some getting use to but after a few bites I really started to enjoy it. YUMMY. I will be making this again for sure! Guess I need to get a masher?! You could do so much with this. Add gravy (maybe? I don't eat gravy) add cheese and chives. The possibilities are endless. SO HEALTHY!


The pictures don't look that great and as you can see I tried to instagram them so you could see the results better but no such luck. My advice, make it yourself to see AND TASTE the results!




Back in the kitchen {again}

I am offically back in the kitchen! The holidays are over and the boring new year has begun. I love the boring new year. Time for things such as.. COOKING

For the month of January, I am going meatless {except for fish.. I don't think I could do it without fish.. not yet anyways} So the post this month will be meatless meals! Exciting right?


What's in store for this weeks menu?


Cauliflower Mash - somthing I have been wanting to make for a long while
Meatless burritos - to get me past the mexican cravings
Baked eggs with artichoke - if this jar of artichokes can last until Thursday
Mushroom lintel soup - I have never had lintels
Stuffed potatoes - I know, potatoes = carbs
a few different Salads
and some random things that I don't remember but are on my list just a few feet away. Yes, I am being lazy right now

Get ready because the first dish is in the pot right as we speak type!
