Cauliflower “Mashed Potatoes”

“Green Eggs and Ham was the story of my life. I wouldn’t eat a thing when I was a kid, but Dr. Suess inspired me to try cauliflower” ~ Jim Carrey

Just to set it straight, potatoes contain none of the grain we are trying to avoid on this wheat belly diet. However because they have the potential to cause extreme blood sugar rises and many of the spuds sold today have been genetically modified, it does make some of us a bit concerned. But rest assured – you can still enjoy the “mashed potato” consistency by recreating the dish with some “healthy as heck” cauliflower. It’s easy breezy to make and has that same yummy flavor (no – even better) as moms good ol’ mashed potatoes.

Enjoy
