Recipe: Mashed Cauliflower

Mashed Cauliflower

Serving Size: 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 entire head of cauliflower, remove leaves (chopped into small pieces)

  • 1 cup of low sodium chicken stock

  • 2-3 cloves of garlic

  • Sea salt & pepper to taste

Directions: 

  • In a large pot, add the chicken stock and cauliflower. Cover and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30-35 minutes until the cauliflower is until very tender, and you can smash it with your fork. (If you need to add more stock during this time, you can add it. Make sure your pot doesn’t run dry.)

  • Add the garlic cloves and simmer for a few minutes longer (about 5). Drain the liquid and add all of the remaining ingredients to a food processor or blender. Blend to your desired consistency. (I like mine pureed with a few chunks.)

  • Season with salt & pepper, and any other seasoning you like! Enjoy.

Recipe: Roasted Butternut Squash Seeds

Roasted Butternut Squash Seeds

This is a great way to use up all of those seeds you pull out of the butternut squash from last week’s recipe.

Directions: 

  • Preheat the oven to 250-300 with the rack in the middle.

  • Scoop the seeds out of the squash and remove as much of the stringy orange pulp as you can. Rinse the seeds.

  • Lay the seeds out on a plate or baking sheet to dry overnight. If you want to use them right away pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

  • Spread the seeds out on a baking sheet and put it in the oven and roast for 10-15 min until crispy. **Keep your eyes on deck because these can burn quickly!
