This easy mashed cauliflower recipe gives you all of the flavor with none of the guilt (and none of the carbs!) Whips up in minutes & is keto friendly too!
Friends, it is time to face the cold hard facts: November & December are not kind when it comes to counting calories. One Thanksgiving dinner alone can provide the caloric requirements for a small country, and that’s not even counting the pie. (Mmmmmmmm……pie…..)
I hate watching my weight, I really do. I especially hate that the older I get, the more careful I need to be. So recipes that allow me to think I’m indulging in something I shouldn’t be when I’m actually being very good are exactly the kind of recipes I need. Yep, you got it: My diet plan is all about deception.
Which of course makes this recipe for Skinny Roasted Garlic Mashed Cauliflower pretty much perfect. Not only is it completely delicious and super low cal, it is a breeze to whip together and makes the perfect side dish to any meal, including Thanksgiving dinner!
