OMG i kid you not, i JUST made this!! We just had this with dinner!

Yes you boil a head of cauliflower, I cut mine up first, add butter and cheese and mash it up with a mixer.

I am on atkins so allowed all of this but you can try substituting whatever, I also threw in some fresh garlic and onions for a really yummy flavor, it is wonderful!

Default Pumpkin custard

Tastes just like pumpkin pie!

3 egg whites, 2/3 cup of sugar ( I add everything but egg whites and use Splenda to taste first), 1 teasp. Ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground Ginger, 1/4 teasp. Nutmeg, dash ground cloves (tip- if I am in a hurry, I use pumpkin pie spice instead- tastes the same & faster)!

1 can of 15 oz. Solid pack pumpkin ( not the pumpkin pie mix!)
1 teasp. Vanilla extract, one 12-oz. Can fat-free evaporated milk
In large bowl, mix all together.

Pour into ungreased custard cups and put cups into a 13x9 inch baking pan.
Carefully pour in about 1& 1/2 inches of water- don't splash into the custard!

Bake @ 325 degrees for 35-45 minutes (depends on your oven) OR until a knife or toothpick inserted in center of custard comes out clean.

Serve warm or cold. Can easily double recipe. One custard cup equals 125 calories, trace of fat, 2 mg cholesterol, 26 grams of carbs, 2 grams fiber, 5 grams of protein. Diabetic exchange: 1-1/2 starch.

**To clarify, I do not use the sugar the recipe calls for due to my Uh... sugar addiction. Before I put the egg whites in, I sprinkle Splenda into the mixture until sweet enough for me and then mix in the egg whites. It bakes, tastes fine without sugar**

Default WW

Joined weight watchers for the I don't know how many time
BUT I am determined to do this. I think that my fat feeds a negativity that I want to let go of. This protective shield is not protecting me from anything. I made it through the first day despite some stress that would have sent me to a binge-- So on to day 2!
Would love to hear from anyone who does WW.

Been there, wouldn't go there with the relatives. Try it on yourself first. Popular for real low carbers. It's not bad, definitely not a potato. Of course, I'm no gourmet.

Cauliflower puree is great! Add a little Parma romano and you have a great dish. Lower carbs and higher in fiber.

Lots of alternatives

I'm not a fan of the cauliflower puree although perhaps I'm not seasoning enough.

I have done a combination of potato, onion and turnip, which is interesting...but the other great alternative is celery root (also called celeriac). Peel and boil until tender, just like potatoes.

As an alternative to mashed potatoes at holiday dinners - I do roasted sweet potato and parsnip. washed, peeled, cubed, parboiled for 5-7min., roasted with a little olive oil and seasoning in an oven at 375F for about 30-40minutes.

I've tried it and loved it - however, if you're expecting it to taste like potatoes you'll be disappointed - it's yummy though! I put a little 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter', Mrs. Dash, and garlic in it... MMMmm!
