     When i make this I use 2 wedges of laughing cow herb and garlic and throw it in the food processor. I don't need any cream or butter. This cuts the already low calories by around half! - 5/8/09

     I've made this before and love it. A fairly large serving is so low in calories. For those of us on the Weight Watcher diet plan, it's very low point. I sometimes make it with 1/2 cup of fat free sour cream and 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese - also good. - 1/4/08

     I have made this twice now.The first time, I SIMMERED FRESH cauliflower. I didn't have Half n Half, so I used skim milk and grated a little cheese in. The second time, I STEAMED FROZEN cauliflower, and used FF Half n Half with a bit of grated cheese. I liked FRESH best. - 3/12/08

     I am definitely a potato girl and this recipe helped take off the edge of my cravings for potatoes. I put fat free sour cream instead of the half and half. Just a suggestion - 1/6/08

     I, too, have been making this for a long time. The only thing I do differently is use low fat buttermilk and steam some garlic cloves with the cauliflower. I "mash" by throwing all in food processor. YUM!! - 1/9/08

     It is a great recipe....I put the cauliflower in the microwave and use the fresh vegetable setting...when done put it in the food blender with pepper, 1 T of butter nad salt to your taste....blend the heck out of it so the consistency is what you like and EAT! - 1/7/08

     Decades ago Mom made a hamburger cassarole in a pie dish using mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes as the "crust" for the bottom and sides. My brother hated cauliflower & never knew the difference. The secret? Cook the cauliflower as soon as he was off to school and thoroughly air out the house. - 1/4/08

     I used this recipe but used 1/2 head of cauliflower, 2 tablespoons of grated parmesian cheese (not the powdered kind) and added 1/8 tsp. of garlic powder and 1 Tbs. SMART BALANCE . Steamed cauliflower in steamer (5 min.) Put rest of ingrediants in food processor. YUM! One of our favorite dishes! - 1/19/10

     I love this dish. I used LF sour cream and garlic in the puree. - 3/22/09
  • MERAPHIS
     I added 1.5 oz FF cream cheese and halved the half and half. Delicious... although I need to find a better mashing method... came out the texture of coleslaw, which isn't quite what I had in mind! :) - 1/28/08

     What a clever & delicious substitute for mashed potatoes...I've always LOVED cauliflower, now I have a new REASON to! - 1/19/08

     This recipe doesn't say what the serving size is. Does anyone know? - 1/11/08

     Love this - used to eat it on Atkins - 1/5/08
  • JOANNAG2
     I make this quite often. I don't use half n half, just light or fat free butter and garlic powder. - 1/4/08
  • ARABIANHORSEFAN
     This is a recipe used in the South Beach Diet book too. They are great and quite easy to make. - 1/4/08

     very tasty and easy to make. - 1/4/08
  • DEARPIE
     Half and Half is cream, or rather half cream and half milk. It's what a lot of people/restaurants use in their coffee, instead of just milk. It's thicker than milk, so it would help thicken the cauliflower consistancy. I've made this before and it's awesome. I agree, a little garlic is great! - 1/4/08
  • LADYFISCH
     Nothing like a tiny bit of minced garlic to really add some taste to this. Love the recipe but does not satisfy a need for mash potatoes. With a little bit of imagination, this recipe is a great side dish. Sprinkle with a little parmesean cheese. - 1/4/08
  • SMDAJERO
     We have a winner! I added a little more fat free half and half and used the blender to get a good consistancy. I tried mashing by hand the first time and it was too lumpy. - 12/28/07

     Taste good as cauliflower mash but as a potato eater (I'm Irish!) I wouldn't consider them as a mash substitute. Kate - 3/15/07
  • BMARCATO
     I really liked this but cooked the cauliflower in WAY too much water. After zipping it through the food processor I wrapped in cheese cloth to drain a bit. Mixed in 1/4 cup low fat sour cream, pat of butter, salt and pepper and reheated - delicious! - 3/28/10
