I’ve been looking for an easy recipe to make mashed cauliflower – found it :-) I used 2 bags of the birds eye steamfresh garlic cauliflower – steamed them in the microwave, added just 1 extra clove of garlic, and used lowfat evaporated milk – threw it all in my vitamix blender (used as a food processor)...and, 30 seconds later…mashed cauliflower…AWESOME
