Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Hi, my name is Lauren and I am a complete and total carb addict.  I especially love mashed potatoes, so when my roommate introduced me to cauliflower mashed potatoes, I was beyond thrilled.  Had I just seen this on Pinterest, I probably would have just laughed at the notion- I never thought anything could compare to my favorite comfort food. I now stand corrected.

Ingredients:

• 1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces
• ½ cup organic chicken stock
• ½ cup low fat or fat free sour cream
• 1 tablespoon ghee/clarified butter (regular butter works, but the others are healthier)
• 1-2 tablespoons flavoring of your choice (garlic, Spike, parmesan cheese etc.)

Directions:

• Bring large pot of water to a boil.
• Add cauliflower and boil until tender (about 10 minutes) drain
• Combine cauliflower, sour cream, chicken stock and flavoring in bowl or mixer. Blend until smooth
• Season with salt and pepper... and if you want parsley, chives, bacon bits.... the works! :)

Note: you can also use cream cheese instead of sour cream. I DEFINITELY recommend adding parmesan cheese to it.  Another variation is boiling the cauliflower IN the chicken stock.  It may take a few different tries to get everything perfect, but trust me... it's worth it!
