Eat Healthier This New Year: Mock Mashed Potatoes Recipe
I never seem to be able to keep up with my New Years resolutions, but it doesn’t stop me from making them anyway. I’m a carb fanatic and I admit, it is my downfall. I love breads and all things full of starch like mashed potatoes. So now I’m tasked once again with finding ways to enjoy the same yummy flavors and last year this is one of the best recipes I came up with and since it did so well on Pinterest(shared over 14k times) I thought I would share it with you again so that you could make your transition into healthier eating easier come New Years day. This recipesis much more healthier for you than mashed potatoes and equally delicious! It’s a recipe for Healthy Cheesy Garlic Mashed Cauliflower!
My husband doesn’t like vegetables and he truly dislikes cauliflower so you can only imagine how surprised he was to find out this was mashed cauliflower and that it was healthy. Since we all loved these we decided to add it to our weekly menu. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family, let me know if they like it.

This dish is amazing! The cauliflower and roasted garlic combines for a very slightly sweet toasty garlicky deliciousness ! Try it you will love it. Combines well with your favorite turkey meatloaf recipe.
