    Cut stem off and into florets, one head of cauliflower.
    Steam Cauliflower florets for about 7 to 8 minutes.
    Place steamed Cauliflower florets in blender.
    Add 2 Tbl (1/8 cup) organic milk (or Almond milk if Lactose intolerant).
    Add 1 Tbl pastured (organic, hormone free) butter.
    [Optional or substitute EEVO]
    Add 1/2 tsp pure Sea or Himalayan Crystal salt.
    Add 1/4 tsp pepper.
    Puree (My blender has 5 settings, #4 is puree - does one really need any more than that?)
    Serve.
    .
    Tastes like mashed potatoes with no Cauliflower smell/taste.
    Our daughter is Lactose intolerant, so when she is home, we use Almond Milk.
    .
    Per Serving:
    FAT: 6.7g
    Carbs - fiber = Net Carbs:
    15.9g - 7.3g = 8.6g Carbs
    Protein: 6.3g

    Yum!

    I think I may have added some cottage cheese and/or cheddar cheese last time I made them. And, I have also done them using a bag of frozen cauliflower, they are a little more moist, though.

    Why haven't I tried these before now! I feel like I'm eating mashed potatoes! I love potatoes but don't eat them very often and when I do I have a tiny little portion. This is the best!!

    I make a similar cauliflower mash and add diced turkey bacon, shredded low fat cheddar and chives. It tastes like a loaded baked potato Sometimes we also add a dollop of light sour cream or plain yogurt on top.
