Mashed Fauxtatoes

I just had a craving for potatoes - one of the vegetables I miss on a low-carb diet.  Luckily, I've found a substitute - fauxtatoes.  I had mashed fauxtatoes and broccoli with my burger.

These are easy to prepare.  I chopped up some cauliflower, and steamed it until soft (but not mushy).  I pulsed the cauliflower in the blender with a small amount of skim milk and margarine.  The key is to blend briefly - otherwise I'll end up with soup.

Finally, I added salt and pepper to taste.  Voila!  A low-carb comfort food.
