I am having an eating day…do you all have those? Days where you just want to EAT?? To stave it off I tried the Nicole recommended No Pudge Brownie mix. It was good, but geez, a serving isn’t much is it? Really, I am a six foot two woman trapped in a five foot two body.
What this means is I have to do my be-good dinner. This is a recipe I made up–I tend to make up a lot of recipes. The problem with my made up recipes is that if I try to measure all the ingredients and write them down so I can share them, say with you, they don’t turn out right. So, here it is exactly as I make it:
Mashed Cauliflower (I got the idea from TGIFridays low carb menu, but mine is lower calorie because I don’t use butter.)
- However many packages of frozen cauliflower you want to make–I usually do two at a time
- Either fat free sour cream or fat free plain yogurt -whichever you have, the sour cream is a bit more decadent tasting.
- Grated Parmesean cheese.
- Spice of your choice–I like Tastefully Simple’s Fiesta Party Dip or their Garlic Garlic
- Sliced cheese of your choice–cheddar tastes best, but also has more calories than a white cheese. I usually use provolone.
Okay, steam the cauliflower until is is really done–like you can cut it with a fork. Then put all of it in a food processer. (I tried mashing it by hand for a while, but this is much better.) Add however much sour cream/yogurt, spice and parmesean cheese as you like. You can start with the sour cream/yogurt to get the consistency you want then add the others to taste. Spread it all out in a big baking dish and top it with the cheese–then just bake it to melt the cheese.
Yummy and best of all, very filling. Just don’t overdo the cheese–that’s your biggest risk.
Let me know if you try it and like it. :)

Oh yum..I might have to try that.
Lori, if you want a slighly more decadent thing, I sometimes top the No Pudge brownie with a scoop (or two) of Slow-churned ice cream.
And I’ve had some luck with using a flavored yogurt.
