Whipped cauliflower with goat cheese... Left Hug

I ate almost a whole head of cauliflower by myself this weekend & I would like another huge bowl of it right now. I also think I'm going to try your zucchini planks this weekend. I'm loving your blog!

Yay! Glad you liked it. DH hates cauliflower, but will tolerate a tiny, tiny bit with gobs of goat cheese, so I end up eating the whole head myself too

The planks are good, the aioli with them makes them amaaaazing. Glad you're liking it! I've been a big slacker lately due to the fact that I can't eat much variety, blah!

DH had actually mentioned wanting to try mashed cauliflower a few days before CD posted a request for the healthy mashed potato options. It was perfect timing.

He definitely liked them, but just had a normal sized serving. I on the other hand opted for a small portion of the meat he made and filled the rest of my plate with cauliflower goat cheese goodness. The zucchini sounds awesome. We eat a lot of it so I'm excited to try a new recipe.

I saw the pics on your blog from your shower. Your mom's fruit salad was awesome! I also saw a small corner of the cake. How did it wind up turning out?

Luckily, my sister came to her senses and realized that we didn't need an elaborate cake. And we wouldn't have much time to make it (we went to a wedding the night before the shower) so she just ordered a simple one from a local bakery!

The carriage was seriously adorable, I'm so glad my mom made it. I showed her a photo and she took on the challenge. She wanted to do scalloped edges, but time got too short so she zig-zagged!

Can someone tell me how to make the cauliflower more creamy, and less "grainy?" I tried it once, and even though I LOVE cauliflower, even I didn't like it. It just tasted like a bland, overcooked and very cheesy piece of cauliflower. DH doesn't like it in any form, so I tried to do something different, and it BOMBED!

I can't help with the grainy issue, but what did you boil the cauliflower in to soften it? Ashlee's recipe called for vegetable stock and it gave it such a good flavor. Definitely helped it from being bland...imo. If you bolied in vegetable stock, I've got nothing. lol Sorry.

Was it grainy when you mashed it? Or steamed florets were grainy?

Did you just mash it? I threw mine in my kitchen aid food processor.
