Cauliflowers?! For meeeeee??

Stumbled onto something pretty awesome a few weeks back, mashed cauliflower. I dunno if you feel the same way as I do about cauliflower, I loves it, but it's hard to find fun ways to cook it. Roasting, steaming (blah), with crumbly ritz crackers on top (Super yum) etc. It feels very underappreciated though for how good it tastes even with the boring ways to cook it. So this seemed like a fun recipe to try...

First things first, acquire a cauliflower.

Like my magnet collection?

Break it up into small pieces and boil for 10 mins or until soft.

Smushy.

While it's boiling, gather 1/4 parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup milk and if you want, a tablespoon of cream cheese.

Squeeze bottle of pre-minced garlic. Best. Purchase. Ever.

When the cauliflower is soft (easily punctured all the way through with a fork) drain it and pat dry with paper towels. Doesn't have to be crazy dry, just enough so it's not dripping (We don't want no watery mashed flowers).

Immediately transfer to a food processor while it's still hot and combine the milk, cheese and garlic.

 Please excuse my bland kitchen.

Pulse until all mixed up like.

Yummmmm...

Enjoy your healthy and super yummy concoction. Only eat in moderation, safety first ;)

Fin.
