Cauliflower Mash
I make this on a weekly basis. Cauliflower all matched up with some butter is definitely the best side you could ask for. I never miss the potatoes when I eat my cauliflower this way, however, it wouldn’t be terrible to add some mashed potatoes to this as well!
Ingredients:
One large head of cauliflower
1 tablespoon of butter
Salt and pepper
Directions:
Cut up the cauliflower into florettes and place them in a large glass bowl. Add a little bit of water and then cover the top and cook in the microwave for about 10 minutes depending on how large your head is. Once finished, drain out the water And use an immersion blender. Blend well and then add butter salt and pepper to taste. Sometimes I feel like adding a little more butter and that’s OK. This is served great with barbecue chicken, wings, or a steak!

Homemade Cesar Dressing
Homemade Cesar Salad Dressing
Because making it by yourself cuts out a lot of preservatives and salt! I usually add parmesan to the dressing but lately I haven't (my bullet unfortunately caved on me after all these years and so i didn't want a gritty texture. I use parmesan in the salad and it makes more sense to me!)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup light sour cream
- 1/2 cup light mayo
- dash of hot pepper
- 1-2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1-2 tbsp lemon juice
- salt and lots of black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a 16 ounce mason jar add all ingredients cover the top and shake well. Add about 1 to 2 tablespoons of water and shake again. Keep adding water and shaking until desired consistency. If you would like your dressing to have more character you can add more Worchestershire sauce.
