What goes best with beef?
Mashed potatoes.
But mashed potatoes: Seemingly innocent. Deceptively caloric.
What to do, what to do?
SWAP.
We love healthy swaps for fattening dishes so here is another great swap that adds a boost of vitamins and minerals to plain, old MASHED POTATOES…CAULIFLOWER MASHED POTATOES. This is the easiest recipe that you can make in a MICROWAVE!!

RECIPE: CAULIFLOWER MASHED POTATOES
1 large potato, peeled and cut into chunks
1 head cauliflower cut into florets
2 cups water
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 clove crushed garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Place the potato cubes and cauliflower florets in a microwave safe dish. Cover dish. Microwave on HIGH for 8 minutes or until the potatoes are done. Carefully remove dish. Place the potatoes and cauliflower into a large bowl and mash until there are no lumps. Add olive oil, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well. EAT.
When out to eat avoid heaping mounds of mashed potatoes. They hide pools of butter, margarine and/or oil. Ask the server how they were prepared. If the situation sounds caloric, stick with a baked white or sweet potato as a side.
