Ok, I forgot to ask, How much cream cheese?? 4 Oz, 8 oz.??

I love mashed cauliflower in place of mashed potatoes. I steam it, then

drain very well, over the hot pan so it dries out some, then I add cream

cheese and some butter. If it's still alittle wet, I bake it in the

oven, sometimes with cheese over it. Good stuff.

Hi All!

I tried the Hearty Shepherd's Pie tonight and it was a big sucess!!! My kids

and hubby had no idea they were not eating potatoes!! LOL!! Also the picky

eaters that they are, they had no idea Eggplant was in it either!! LOL!! I

added 6 oz. of cream cheese to the cauliflower, and 4 oz.would have been

enough. I think that ups the carb count to 8 grams. I am not good at that

stuff so I will leave it to someone to let me know, please!! I sprinkled some

paprika on top. It was yummy and pretty filling with a nice salad.
