Mock Mashed Potatoes



Recommended Posts

If you miss potatoes, here's a great recipe. You can make this LOW CALORIE by cutting down on the butter and sour cream or leaving the sour cream out.

I LOVE THIS STUFF !!!

Preheat oven to 350

1 very large head of fresh cauliflower - boil or steamed well.

1/2 stick butter softened

1/2 cup sour cream

salt and pepper to taste

*OPTIONAL Topping:

1/2 cup shredded cheddar

Let cauliflower drain VERY well. Press out the Water, blotting with paper towels.

Put cauliflower, butter, sour cream and salt in large bowl, use electric mixer and blend very well. Spray an 8" by 11" (approx.) size casserole baking dish, and spread mixture evenly in dish.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

* Take out and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 5-10 minutes more, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Enjoy the flavor, get your Fiber and forget the carbs and calories :)

Note: its not as creamy as real potatoes but the flavor is great IMHO :P

Cauliflower makes great mock rice too. You just cook it and kind of crumble it.

Its a great way to get vegetables into the kids, they dont even realise.

Girl! I thought you said you were going to take a nap?! You must be addicted to LBT like me! smile.gif

Thanks for the recipe! As soon as I get to solids I will try for sure (might even attempt a small sample during mushie stage if I blend after cooking)

keep 'em coming!

Gee Karla, we should have a contest to see who's online more, LOL. My DH thinks I have a boyfriend online because I'm always on my puter. He just doesn't understand how addicting LBT is.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
