Mixed with butter, garlic, salt and pepper, you won’t even know these are not the real thing. Cauliflower is one of my favorite volume foods. Meaning, you can eat A LOT of it for very few calories. I often times eat this whole recipe for only 160 calories and 20g carbs! Even with the light butter this is less than half the calories of the same amout of mashed potatoes with no butter and almost 25% less carbs! Volume food at its finest. Go ahead, eat the whole recipe, I dare you!
