RACHAEL RAY'S CHEESY "SMASHED" CAULIFLOWER



Rachael Ray's Cheesy

Posting this here for safe keeping. I don't normally use Rachael Ray recipes 'cause she mixes sweet and savory flavors a lot and I find that kinda gross. ;) But this one sounded pretty good. I think I'll leave out the nutmeg, tho. If you try it let me know how it turns out. :)

CHEESY SMASHED CAULIFLOWER

Tupelo Honey Café serves this instead of mashed potatoes. My Dad who says he is allergic to all vegetables, ate the cauliflower because he thought it was mashed potatoes. It was hilarious, to tell Dad that he had just eaten cauliflower, you should have seen the look on his face! He was hooked and asked me to get the recipe. The texture of this is a little chunky, a little funky, and really tasty. Source: Tupelo Honey Cafe's website http://www.tupelohoneycafe.com/cheesy-smashed-cauliflower
