I too am in love with the cauliflower version of mashed potatoes. Mu hubby says he could eat it every night. It is a great way to get your veggies in!

Hmm strange that it an induction food as it can be high in carbs. I made cauliflower cheese last week, and it was so nice I wolfed the whole lot! only a small cauliflower ;) but that meant my carbs were way over my 20g on induction..

so medium head 5"-6" of cauliflower is 30g of carbs

So for those guys on induction or whatever please be careful - and don't do what I did :D

SarahWeb - Remember you can subtract the fiber count form the total amount of carbs. A small head of cauliflower has 13.78 carbs, but 6.63 g of fiber. That means a net carb of 7.15. Rememebr you only have to stay under 20 NET carbs each day. A head of cauliflower is low carb, very filling and packs alot of nutricion.

those results came from fitday itself.. does that mean I am getting it wrong :( I.e. I pulled down the menu from fitday and added it to my daily menu and it gave me that 30g figure?

I am just going by my total carbs I only subtract fibre when adding new foods (being in UK that is)

Fitday doesn't deduct the fiber.

I love Cauliflower!! But it makes DH & I fart!

oh great so I have been doing it wrong - again :(

Thank you all for letting me know I am off to see if I can get this right

Last time I was LCing, I tried this, i took frozen cauliflower, boiled it, then mashed it up and added sourr crea,. cream cheese, and some butter and garlic, and It just tasted like piecey cauliflower and prettty awful too!
I was thinking fresh must work better so I think im gonna try that...

Also, would putting it in a blender with the infredients work better?

The "Cauliflied Rice" is excellent! Don't expect it to taste exactly like fried rice, but it's a darn good substitute and very nutritious. You can barely taste the "cauliflowery" taste.

Just grate the cauliflower, brown little chunks of meat and add an egg, which you scramble into little pieces. I add some garlic and/or onion at this point too. When the egg is cooked, dump in the grated cauliflower and fry for a few minutes until it starts to get brown. This is really tasty!

Y'all must be some hungry people - this thread is going great! :)

Karla, yes, that is probably true, and thank goodness! But, what about the other stuff, butter, bacon, cheese? I've been conditioned for so long that these things were "bad" that it's hard now to switch over.

Arie, great idea, but what to do with the whites?

I have tried that recipe and love it!!! I will have to make it again soon, there are so many varieties of flavors you can make.. its wonderful

I posted a recipe a while a go for all kinds of left overs.. you can use the whites there... :)

Mix them with whole eggs and make an omelette, scramble, egg foo yung or use them in cauliflied rice. Tou can also whip them till stiff and fold them into the cauliflower after you've added the yolks.
