I rarely crave sugar or sweet things of any kind. My cravings lean toward potatoes & bread & that sort of thing. I haven't been giving in to the cravings, but I do have a little carb at each meal. I have my cereal in the morning, a wrap thingie at lunch & usually some potatoes or such with dinner. I used to like to eat 5-6 smaller meals each day, but with this job it's too hard to schedule that. Granny eats 3 meals so I just eat around the same time.
I'm having some mouth pain right now, so I had to let my cereal sit in the yogurt to soften it this am. Soft foods for a couple of days & I should be ok.
My Sir has Type 2 diabbetes so it is crucial that he limits his carb intake and he loves this recipe. I am getting really good at figuring out how to prepare delicous meals without his feeling unsatisfied. He has lost 30 pounds in 5 months since I have been cooking for me, his Doctor was so pleased! [:)]. So anyway, here it is.
Better Fake Mashed Potatoes
Serves:10 **So halve it for you, plus it freezes well, really[:)].
CarbsPerServing: 6 total recipe
Effort:Easy
Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower
4 to 6 tablespoons butter *depends on you, I use olive oil
1 teaspoon pepper — up to
1 tablespoon
How to Prepare:
Cook 1 head of cauliflower until very soft. MASH all the water out of it through a screen mesh colander (If you skip this step you get cauliflower soup).. Add butter and considerable pepper (min 1 teaspoon up to a tablespoon - careful it goes from perfect to HOT very fast). Whip with mixer or in food processor, re-heat if necessary. I have served this at parties and no one has known they were not real.
I also add things like garlic, etc. to liven it up if you I want to.
Also, awesome idea on using wraps instead of bread. For Sir, I make him a lot of wraps, and I try and use the spinach ones, or tomato ones, they are better for you. I also stuff the hell out of them with things like chicken, and tons of different textures, like chickpeas, sprouts, and instead of mayo, which he loves, I have been cutting his mayo in half with non fat vanilla yogurt with a squeeze of lemon and lots of pepper. There is also a bread out there, I am not going to lie, it's not delicous, but it's okay, it's called Ezekiel bread, it's better than nothing. It's like a raw unleavened bread, a lot of health food store have it.
But anyway, try the cauliflower mashed, those rock, and congrats on the great work!!!!!
