Paleoish Cauliflower Cheesy Mash

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

One of the best parts about using Cauliflower for mashed potatoes is that it offers a lighter option compared to mashed potatoes. I love me some mashed potatoes but sometimes it sits so heavy! This side dish has a silky smooth puree type vibe to it that will go great with numerous main dishes!

I added some cheese to this to add some richness and solid flavor. Definitely takes this to the next level. This recipe is super easy and comes together in no time so lets get to cooking!

CAULIFLOWER CHEESY MASH STEPS

You want to start by breaking down two medium sized heads of cauliflower to small florets. Add them to a big pot and cover with water.

You will cover this with 2 tsp salt then bring to a boil. This will cook for about 30 minutes. You will know its done when you can pierce a floret easily with a fork.

Drain the cauliflower then we will mash with a hand blender. This is a pro kitchen tool to have around! You can also throw the pieces in a blender to puree.

Serve this with my meatloaf to have a bomb ass dinner!

Let’s get to cooking!

Beefy 5 Layer Taco Dip Recipe 🌮 🥑 

So pumped March Madness is finally here!  @goodfoods and I partnered up to kick off the tournament with a super tasty dip recipe!  This will definitely be a party favorite.  Recipe is below and good luck to your teams playing!

RECIPE:

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 medium sweet onion, diced
1 LG vine ripened tomato, seeds removed and diced
1 can sliced black olives
LG @goodfoods Chunky Guacamole Container
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 oz sour cream
taco seasoning packet
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
arrowroot slurry (1 tsp arrowroot + 1 tsp water combined)

STEPS

Start off by preparing the ground beef taco mixture.  Saute the diced onion in some oil for 3-5 minutes.  Add in the ground beef and break up into small chunks.  Cook until browned.  Add in the 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper.  Mix up then add in the chicken broth and saute for a few minutes.  Let this reduce a bit then drop the heat to low.  Add in the slurry and stir until it begins to thicken.  Drop the heat to a simmer and pull from the heat and add to a bowl once the liquid is gone.  Let this cool off for a bit.

Add 1 cup of sour cream to a bowl and mix in the taco seasoning packet until combined.

Grab a medium sized bowl or casserole dish and scoop the ground beef for the first layer.  Depending how big your bowl or dish is, scoop only the amount needed to create a nice layer.  Now do a layer of the sour cream mixture.  Now do a nice layer of the good foods chunky guacamole.  Sprinkle on the cheese then top with the tomato and black olives.  Serve with your favorite tortilla chips or make a taco salad bowl with it!

Random thought of the day…. Fried Brussels Sprouts are 100% worth all the gas. Do you agree?

They are also one of the easiest things to make! I like to cut the ends off then I quarter them. Save those outer leaves to fry as well. Add a pot with 1 cup Avocado oil and heat to 325. Fry them for a few minutes on each side until they start to brown. Add them to a wire rack to drain the oil then add them to a bowl and season with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I also made a pomegranate maple reduction that paired beautifully with these! All I did was boiled down some pomegranate juice, a few tbsp of maple syrup, and a splash of rice wine vinegar until it turned into a nice glaze consistency.

Hope you guys enjoy!

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED SHRIMP 🍤 

I had some leftover prosciutto from Thanksgiving so wanted to do something fun with it. I gave this a try and it was a home run! Literally just clean and dry your shrimp then cut prosciutto slices into thirds. Wrap one of the pieces around the shrimp and ensure you overlap the prosciutto and it should stick to itself.

Get a pan on medium heat with a few tbsp of EVOO in there. Add the shrimp and sear for 2-3 min each side depending how big the shrimp are. Top with some fresh cracked pepper and a sprinkle of salt.

I made a spicy mustard dipping sauce to pair it with that consisted of a few scoops of Mayo, drizzle of white wine vinegar, small pour of Calabrian chili oil, some Dijon mustard, and some honey.
