CAULIFLOWER MASH
It might be tough to imagine that anything could taste better than mashed potatoes. But cauliflower mash captures all the flavors of beloved potatoes, and you won't be able to taste the difference. Not only is this mash cheesy, buttery and silky smooth, it also brings along a stellar lineup of vitamins and nutrients. Plus it's lower in carbohydrates and calories than its potato counterpart.

Steps:
- Bring an inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Place the cauliflower in a steamer basket set over the boiling water. Cover and steam for about 5 minutes, until the florets are fork tender. Transfer the florets to a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Add the garlic, cheese, heavy cream, butter, salt and pepper to the cauliflower. Blend until smooth and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. After 1 minute, if there are still chunks, use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides, then process again until light, fluffy and completely smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Let the mash sit for 2 minutes to settle. Top with chives and serve with extra butter.

MASHED CAULIFLOWER
For surprisingly flavorful and creamy mashed cauliflower, cook your florets not in water but in a gently simmering pot of milk seasoned with garlic and thyme. When the cauliflower is mashed (or blended), the pectin in the cauliflower will thicken and smooth the mash. Add the garlic- and herb-infused milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach a light, silky consistency. All that's needed is a little sour cream for tang. Save the leftover infused milk for braising white beans, a can of tomatoes, or for making more mashed cauliflower.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cauliflower, milk, garlic, thyme and 1 teaspoon salt; heat over medium-high. When the mixture begins to bubble around the edges (you don't want it to come to a full boil), reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is very tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Place a colander over a bowl, then drain the cauliflower, catching the milk in the bowl. Discard the thyme sprigs. Return the cauliflower and garlic to the pot. Mash the cauliflower using a potato masher, or use an immersion blender to purée until smooth. Add the reserved milk 1 tablespoon at a time, mashing or blending in between, until the cauliflower reaches desired consistency. (You'll use about about 1/4 cup of milk.)
- Stir in the sour cream, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with additional thyme leaves.
