I saw this recipe made on the new low carb cooking show on Food Network. I tried the recipe tonight and it is really so good - this is my spin on the recipe. This time, I omitted the rosemary and used raw minced garlic, but you may also use a few cloves of roasted garlic if you prefer. This version is different from many others as there is no sour cream and no mayonnaise. Real comfort without all that starch. (Note: Smart Balance is a lower calorie, cholesterol reducing butter substitute).

Made some slight changes: Added nutmeg, paprika and chives instead of rosemary, a few drops of chicken stock instead of the bouillon powder and added a few drops of heavy cream. Excellent!!!!

Awesome recipe! I followed the suggestions posted in other reviews and added the Laughing Cow Garlic and Herb cheese instead of the fresh garlic, cream cheese, and parmesan which cut down on the calories and it still tasted great! You can also use this instead of rice with stirfry dishes. Thanks!

I don't like cauliflower... until now!! I steamed it in a steam bag with the garlic and some finely chopped onions and I used a garlic and herb laughing cow cheese wedge instead of cream cheese, tons of fresh chopped parsley, and not buillion b/c I had none. They were so yummy!!!!

These did taste almost exactly like mashed potatoes! I left ½ of the cauliflower mashed, and put the rest into the food processor for a few pulses to smooth it out. I actually preferred the texture of the “mashed” version- the flavors were crisper and it wasn’t so watery. Thanks, this looks like a keeper!
