Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

I hope everyone has a happy holiday and safe travels if you're on the road. Please remember to stay on course and not abandon your life-saving food plan! You can give in to half a piece, half a normal serving, a spoon of this or that but please don't go off the deep end! Freely eat whatever the meat is and the vegetables but watch out for those mashed potatoes and gravy. (It's the flour in the gravy, not the fat!) In fact, in our family we all agreed that the mashed cauliflower was better than the mashed potatoes! yay

Mashed Cauliflower
(for about 4 or 5 people)

1 cauliflower head
about 1/2 package of Kraft 1/3 less fat cream cheese
salt, pepper and butter to taste

Clean and cut up one head of cauliflower and boil in water until fork-tender. The goal here is for the cauliflower to be very very tender. Drain well in a colander for a few minutes. Put the cauliflower, cream cheese and rest of ingredients in a mixer and mix until creamy. If the cauliflower is not very tender, you might need to do this in a food processor first.

Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays!
