I like smashed cauliflower! They serve it at the Pizza Uno I think. Cream Cheese in it sounds interesting though I think maybe the vegan version might be even tastier.
Thanks for sharing :)
Smashed Cauliflower
This is one of those recipes that I based of something I never tasted. But damn its good.
Smashed Cauliflower
Ingred:
1lb Cauliflower (Frozen bag or good sized head fresh)
8oz Cream Cheese
8oz Mozzarella Cheese
Garlic
Salt
Pepper
Parsley
Directions:
Steam the cauliflower until a fork can easily smush into a florette. Drain off all the water. Over low heat add in the small diced cheese, cream cheese and spices. Smash with a potato masher. Remove from heat once the cheese squares melt. Serve as a very unhealthy veggie side!
I do this with Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese and Soy Kaas Moz, but you can use the cow versions. I dont measure spices. I sprinkle, taste and adjust from there. Enjoy!

I do this instead of mashed potatoes in my house. I trick the munchkins by using shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and butter in them to make them taste like mashed potatoes. When it is just for the hubby and I, I don't put anything but a little butter and salt and pepper since that is just a tad healthier.
You can also add purreed cauliflour to just about anything with out altering the taste. It is a great way to sneak in added veggie punch to tomato sauces, chilis, soups, stews, crock pot dinners, white sauces (like alfredo) and andything else you can stir it into.
