Cauliflower Mash

This is probably well known by most of you , but still a goodie. Try using steamed frozen cauliflower mashed with margarine, low fat cream cheese, salt and pepper as a mashed potato substitute.

Also try using fresh cauliflower finely chopped to resemble rice (in a food processor) and then stir fried with white pepper in a little bit of olive oil to substitute for rice.
