Me and Mr. H have embarked on a nutritional journey to transition to a more "primal" way of eating and (mainly lean protein, nuts & seeds and fruits & vegetables) from our normal and "conventional" high carb and grain way of eating. I wish I had taken a before and after pic of our pantry when we cleaned it out. But it went from being packed full of cereal, pop tarts, bread, crackers, pasta, potatoes, rice and beans to a much more lean and mean pantry (thank you Sprouts).
It's hard to give up all the favorite and comforting high carb foods but I am working on some alternatives. I found a recipe for mashed cauliflower and it really does an awesome job of replacing mashed potatoes as a side dish.
Who woulda thunk that this:
Some cauliflower and smashed garlic could become this smooth and creamy dish:
Seriously. I roasted a nice lean cut of pork and steamed a head of cauliflower, mashed it in the food processor, a little gravy on top, and voila.
Mr. H said it was pretty much like eating mashed potatoes.
Just take a whole head of cauliflower, chop off the flowerettes, and steam with a few smashed cloves of garlic. Put it in a food processor with a little butter, salt & pepper and tumeric (if you like) and mash away.
It was delish.
