Suprise Mashed "Potatoes"

I have posted main dish ideas for you so far, but I know that the easy meal is meat and veggies. But many times you get bored; "Great chicken breast and broccoli, again." So this time I have posted a side dish idea. Of course we are suppose to focus on our protein and a healthy carb, well, healthy carbs are veggies, so don't be afraid of try new ways to have your veggies.

Great selections are:
- salads (how ever you like them, but not a little salad with a lot of dressing, that is defeating the purpose.)
-Steamed broccoli (a great trick that I really enjoy is put a little water in the bottom of a fry pan, add a tablespoon of salt, depending on how much you're cooking, and add two teaspoons of sugar. Let it dissolve, then put your broccoli in the water and steam it, it will come out tasting sweet.)
-Steamed green beans, etc.

Anyway, I think that you get the point; just be sure to chose a lean meat and enjoy your veggies.

Here is another recipe for a side dish, Surprise Mashed "Potatoes:"

- 4 Cups of Cauliflower Florets
- 1 oz. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! spray
- 1 oz. Fat Free Half & Half
- Season to taste

Steam the cauliflower until soft. Puree in a food processor, adding the butter spray and the half & half to taste. Season with seasonings of your choice.
