Roasted Veggies and Mashed Cauliflower

Mashed Cauliflower

1 head of cauliflower 

2T minced garlic

1 t butter 

2 oz full fat cream cheese 

1/3 C full fat sharp cheddar, shredded at home 

Salt to taste

Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steam cauliflower until soft(about 8 minutes). Add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth.

I add all of the extras to the blender before adding my steamed cauliflower.

Mashed cauliflower looks and tastes pretty similar to mashed potatoes.

 Roasted Brussels Sprouts(My Favorite!)

1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts
1-2 T olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
Place Brussels sprouts in a glass dish, drizzle with olive oil and toss until Brussels sprouts are thoroughly coasted. Add salt & pepper to taste. Roast in preheated oven at 400 for 35-40 minutes.

 Roasted Bell Pepper

2 sliced bell peppers(any color)
1 T olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
Place bell peppers in a glass dish, drizzle with olive oil and toss until thoroughly coasted. Add salt & pepper to taste. Roast in preheated oven at 400 for 35-40 minutes. Broil on high for 3 minutes. (They come out nice and sweet!)

My husband made steaks to accompany these sides. Delicious!
