  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 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

  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

  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

  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

  I find this to be more of a rice substitute, but it is still really good. If you just throw the cauli into the processor by itself it is a great "bed of rice" to replace regular rice. - 2/10/11

  Variation based on smashed potatoes, about 20 calories less per serving:
  Steam 1 lb cauliflower (frozen) using water with a bay leaf in it. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the water. Mash the cauliflower with 2T butter & 2 oz reduced fat cottage cheese, add bay water to desired consistency, S&P to taste - 2/9/11
