I just discovered a new and quick "mashed potatoes" recipe. It's actually cauliflower plus sweet potatoes. First take a trimmed head of cauliflower (slice it so it's just the heads), nuke it for 8 minutes in a bowl with a little water, lightly covered. Spray with olive oil, sprinkle salt and pepper, roast in 450 oven fifteen minutes. Should come out very soft with a nice roasted flavor. Nuke a largish sweet potato. Cut up, put in a blender with a little butter and enough milk to get it moving, salt and pepper to taste. I had to do it in two batches because of the size of my blender. I've never been either a mashed potatoes fan or a cauliflower fan, but this couldn't have been easier and it was delicious, plus being a beautiful golden color. And even my mom who hates sweet potatoes liked it. I think I'm going to do this for Thanksgiving instead of both mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole, since my family are not big fans of either.

Thanks. Fanned. Very interesting. Now off to get some!

Mash turnip and carrot together. Season with white pepper. Serve with mashed potato and protein that you fancy.

Except for Turnips,I love the others 5!!Yummy..I do love rutabagas though,thats half-turnip

Cauliflower is the best!

I eat sweet potato and cranberry sandwiches year round.

Thank you, Sally...I'm presently taking Whey Protein..Will check Whole Foods for the Kelp..... I have terrible environmental allergies and need anything that might buildup my immune system

My local co-op often cuts a cauliflower in half but do charge an additional amount. Cauliflower when cut deteriorates at a much faster pace. Cabbage is a pretty durable vegetable, frankly for the money the mighty cabbage is generally one of the biggest values in the produce dept.

My local grocery store will cut a cabbage or red cabbage in half for those of us who can't use a whole one. Do any grocery stores cut cauliflowers in half? I always seem to have leftover cauliflower languishing in the refrigerator and eventually have to compost it.
