I can't have white potatoes or bread, and I'm tired of getting tricked by alternative recipes. "These cottage cheese pancakes are so delicious, you won't even miss the carbs!" LIES!!!
 
As we approach comfort food season I am beginning to panic. I can live without French fries, but turkey without mashed potatoes???
 
So my question is - are cauliflower mashed potatoes really a delicious alternative? 4951

I've just found a recipe for zucchini spaghetti substitute. They're called Zoodles, which sounds too cute to be disgusting! But I dunno... :/ 4951

Applebee's had a mashed cauliflower dish and it was awesome. I say experiment. I attempted a couple years ago but was unable to duplicate the yummyness. You,ve inspired me to try again! 4951

@Pi: Can you have sweet potatoes or say, rice or corn pasta?  I ask bc there are plenty of "white" pasta alternatives.  Last year, my DH made me gluten free stuffing that was delicious. I just can't wrap my head around cauliflower mashed potatoes-every once in awhile I think about  trying them but that feeling fades quickly

I tried to make them. Too much water. There must be trick to thicken them up. And couldn't get them smooth. I like cauliflower the way it is. 4951

@lola I just went on the. Allrecipes website and they had 27 recipes. I could eat cauliflower, broccoli and brusselsprouts for every meal. And squash too. I,ve got to do better on eating healthier. I now fit in my husbands shorts. Not happy. 4951

@lola:
 
My wife makes that regularly and to tell you the truth I cant taste the difference. I was haply eating my "mashed potatoes" when then she starts to lean in on how I llikd her "mashed potatos"... thats when I knew something was up. Emoticon 4951

@Okiedokie:
 
I can't have corn or rice pasta (or corn and white rice at all), but I don't mind wheat pasta and bread. Brown rice if it's cooked right is also fine by me. I also like sweet potato fries - I just can't stand mashed sweet potatoes! I'm going to try the cauliflower. Wish me luck! Emoticon 4951

@Pi: Let me know how it goes Emoticon  Maybe one day I will get the courage to try it.  You should try Quinoa pasta(I am guessing that is okay).  It is a little on the pricey side but still yummy.

My wife has made vegetable lasagna a few times with eggplant sliced somewhat thin the long way as a substitute for the pasta. It is damn good. 4951

I grew up o potatoes, can't have them now pretty much, but we make a 1/2 potato 1/2 cauliflower mash that actually is better than plain mashed potatoes. and about 1/3 the calories.Unless you decide to drench it in butter and such. 4951

@Okiedokie: Quinoa is a grain, not a pasta.  You may be thinking of couscous, which is a form of pasta.Spaghetti squash  is a good alternative to pasta.
