This is for all of my mashed potato lovers that want a healthy yet FLAVOR packed alternative! This Creamy Mashed Cauliflower is to die for. The smooth texture, creamy cheese, and smokey paprika pack a punch of flavor! It will be a go-to for your dinner side dish. I wont be surprised if you end up liking it more than mashed potatoes. Sneak this dish into your next meal or bring it to your holiday event coming up and see if anyone even notices, or better keeps talking about how amazing they are. I created this dish because my husbands favorite food is mashed potatoes and he is a type 1 diabetic. He adores these and I am sure you will also. Enjoy friends!
