Cauliflower Recipe (Good For Mushy Stage Too)

NJChick

Cauliflower Cheddar Casserole
(you can leave out the cheese for less calories)

1 Head of Fresh Cauliflower (approx 4 cups cooked)
2 Green Onions (scallions)
1/2 Cup Sour Cream (you can use lite)
1/4 Stick of Butter
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 Cup of Shredded Lowfat Cheddar Cheese

Cut up the cauliflower and steam/boil until soft.

When the cauliflower is soft, drain well. Lightly mash in a colander
to drain extra water. Add the butter and sour cream. Use a mixer to mash
the cauliflower until creamy. Add very fine chopped up scallions (use green part too) sour cream, butter, salt and pepper and 1/2 of the cheese,

Mix well and pour into large casserole dish.
Top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.

Bake at 350°F for 20-30 min, or until top begins to brown.


Approx: 775 calories for entire dish. If you use lite sour cream its a little less.

Divide into 6 portions = 128 calories / serving

What about Beano ? have you ever used it? some people say its great and I'm wondering if you could add it in.

Just a suggestion :)

Oh and just to let everyone know, this does not get creamy like real potatoes, its kinda gritty but GOOD !!

You can also make a mock potato salad using cauliflower instead of potatoes (use the frozen it works better). My sister who hates cauliflower loves the mock potato salad. It really saves on the carbs.
