Thanks! Where do I find a list of abbreviations? I don't understand them all. DW, IMHO.

I love to cook and wouldn't mind having some new recipes. We have mashed cauliflower all the time and I love have a new low fat recipe for it!

I told her 'no matter what we'll ALWAYS have 'Puree'....

Jack, You're a riot! :Dancing_wub:

StarbuxQueen, DW = Darling Wife (or Damn Wife if my DH has his way!)

IMHO = In my honest opinion

Check the FAQ section for Beginners for more...

Thanks for the apprev.

I have a recipe that is similar. Also cook a chayote squash (green, shaped like a tear drop with a dimple in the bottom) along with the cauliflower. Mash and add the cream cheese or regular cream. bake in ramekins with gruyere cheese on top. It is also VERY yummy

Alex just posted a new recipe so I thought I would copy it and repost it. Sounds great. I made the other recipes posted on this thread and they were great!
