collie flower

Chop up some collie-flower
The hat helps, if you have one...

Boil it until tender
You - and the veggies!

Colander it until strained
No real strain for us!

Mash it up a bit
Not too mushy!

Add some butter and seasoning
Well seasoned, thank you!

The super-deluxe treatment
We deserve it!

Tastes like mashed potatoes!
Yum - me!

If you haven't tried this,
why haven't you?

You've got nothing to lose, but the zillion carbs!
I'm just sayin'......

No collies, or flowers were hurt in the making of this post!

    OOOO I love cauliflower, so no doubt will do that to it! Though I love just drizzling tasty cheese on the top when it's hot! YUM YUM. And I do have hat... somewhere! lol

    That is yummy. Have you made them into a patty, lightly cover in bread crumbs and fry in olive oil?? To die for :0)

    We eat cauliflower about once a week. We steam flowerettes in micro and put some cheese on to melt, usually pepperjack or cheddar. Yum.

    I do this too
    but add cream cheese
    and Parmesan cheese
    rather than butter

    don't try to use
    a potato masher
    ooooh noooooo
    it just doesn't work

    like your hat

    I am going to try it with Laughing Cow and Parmesan, after reading some of the comments.... I usually throw away the collie flower, not a huge fan, but heck I will give it a whirl

    I LOVE cauliflower! Just had a collie, broccoli w/real bacon pieces salad (just add your favorite mayo to the steamed veggies: YUMMO).

    It happened to be the only side dish I could eat at the office party at work today :)

    I think I could write a book... 365 Ways to Cook Cauliflower!

    I LOVE Mashed Cauli-tators. I strain and press out the water VERY thoroughly, use a combo of butter, sour cream and/or cream cheese, sea salt and pepper, and any other additives I'm in the mood for... like chives, garlic, parmesan, etc. Yummo!

    MP3, PDQ... ha ha ha... .loved this episode of the Lost Foodie Tribe. :-D
