Another thing I do often when making white sauces instead of using all cream or milk I sometimes thin it more with chicken stock I use beef stock when making speghetti sauce as well to thin it up and make it a little more healthy.

That's a great idea for weight loss recipies! Good post!!!

I know this one might sound crazy but I am going to give it a shot I am sure it will be different. This one may take me awhile to actually try because I am rebelling mashed potatoes are one of my best friends and worst enemies and all next month I am going to attempt to replace my mashed potatoes with the following:

Since cauliflower is such a great vegetable to help shed excess weight. Simply steam an entire head of cauliflower until it is tender and mushy. Add some low-fat cream or dairy-free cream cheese, a small amount of butter, pepper and salt and whip!

I have not tried it yet. Holding off til this weekend. It sounds a bit different for me so I am not quite as enthusiastic about taking it on. However, you never know it actually may be alright. I will definitely let you know if it is.

Buffy (a lady I work with) does that cauliflower recipe and said it tastes just like mashed potatoes! My wife and I are going to try it! Lisa loves mashed potatoes!

We love the mashed cauliflower. My wife makes it at least once a week. I think her only variation is that she adds a small amount of parmesan cheese and stirs it in while they're hot so it melts in and makes them creamier. Also, some garlic stirred in also adds a lot.

Enjoy!

That sounds good.Parmesan is something I'd add to it and garlic would be great too.I wonder how it would taste with a little parsley.I add parsley to my mashed potatoes almost all the time.I'm just not sure how the califlower would taste.

Ok, I finally tried this out and it was not horrible but it was definitely different. I will most likely have it again but there is no way I am giving up my mashed p'taters for it
