Better than Potatoes?

Who doesn't love a baked potato, creamy mashed potatoes or a cheesy potato gratin?

But even potato lovers know that potatoes can pack on a load of calories even without the fat-laden toppings that potatoes seem to require.

Potatoes are a starch, which means it becomes converted into sugar in the digestive process.

Is there anything better than potatoes? If you're looking for something to replace the potato, look no further than the cauliflower.With about one-sixth the calories, and not needing any sour cream, butter or milk, it is a delicious substitute.

Cauliflower is easy to prepare. Steam cauliflower florets for 6-8 minutes, then puree in a processer until smooth and creamy. Season with a salt-free flavor blend. Or, for an added flavor and nutritional boost, toss in a few roasted cloves of garlic when blending.

Full of vitamins and minerals, pureed cauliflower looks like mashed potatoes, tastes like mashed potatoes, but won't pack on the pounds like potatoes. What could be better?
