Shopping in a grocery store today , samples were passed out for Rachael
Ray's smashed cauliflower recipe.

Basically cooked very tender in some chicken bouillon, smashed very
fine like mashed potatoes with masher and butter and cheese ( white
cheddar & grated parmesan ) stirred into to make it very creamy. Salt
and
pepper of course plus dash of nutmeg.

It was very yummy and I never had it prepared that way.

Thought I would pass it on! I might make this for Thanksgiving it was so
yummy !

Of course I cannot leave a recipe alone and would probably add ( for my
tastes ) some garlic too

Enjoy

RR probably got the recipe from alt.support.diet.low.carb a few years
ago. I
find that a lot with the TV cooks, books, etc. :-)

Wouldn't be a bit surprised. That sounds just like a simple variation
on ASDLC's mashed "fauxtato" recipe.

It's one of the reasons why I don't post recipes any more.

I can understand that Myra. You and some others were *ripped off* a lot in
the old days by people writing cook books, doing TV shows etc., Sounds like
you're much smarter now. :-)

Hi Cheri!

I don't consider myself as being ripped off - I started writing
professionally when I was 19 years old, so I knew what would happen if
I posted recipes, but it's still a bit of a surprise just to see where
they've gone.

Never fear - the ones I've developed lately (and I've got some great
ones!) are going into one or two different books. I'm writing one
with a fitness trainer/nutritional consultant, and I'm working on my
own book, which will also be a chronology of my weight loss journey.
When I quit smoking in 2005, I gained back weight - not all of it,
though - and I've been losing it yet again. I'm working out 5 days a
week, and I'm even doing personal chefing on the weekends for people
who either low carb, avoid grains, are lactose intolerant, etc. It's
very fulfilling and not bad on the money scale, either. There's
also a large amount of satisfaction in knowing I can stand up in a
kitchen for 5-6 hours at a time without collapsing.

Another change I've made is that I now emphasize natural and whole
foods and avoid the Frankenfoods. My co-author has challenged me to
use only natural sweeteners in my treats, and so I've come up with a
bunch of recipes that use stevia and are highly spiced. I've actually
duplicated the taste of a honey cake - and that's *my* personal
favorite sweet, which I have not yet in almost a decade until
recently. I'm also doing a lot of fun stuff with nut flours, including
a lot of savory dishes.

So, it's all good,

Myra
