HUNGRY GIRL MIRACLE MASHIES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. While waiting for the water to boil, peel and cube the potato.
• Once water is boiling, add peeled potato cubes and cauliflower. Wait for the water to return to a boil, and then reduce heat to medium. Cook for 15 - 20 minutes (until potatoes and cauliflower are very tender).
• Remove the pot from heat and strain out all of the water. Transfer contents to a large bowl, and add half & half, butter/buttery spread, salt, and (if you like) crushed garlic. Mash it all together with a potato masher, until completely blended. Season to taste with pepper and additional salt. Enjoy!

HG'S I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT POTATO SALAD - WW POINTS = 1

Steps:

• Place cauliflower in a large microwave-safe bowl, and pour 1/3 cup water over it. Cover and microwave for 6 - 8 minutes (until cauliflower is soft).
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the ranch mix, mayo, sour cream, Dijonnaise and salt. Set aside.
• Once cool enough to handle, drain any excess water from the cooked cauliflower. Lightly mash just 2 cups of the cauliflower, and then place in a blender. Add creamer and puree or pulse until blended. (Don't worry if it isn't completely smooth.)
• Pour mayo mixture into the blender and mix until blended and creamy.
• Chop the rest of the cauliflower into small half-inch pieces. Place these cauliflower pieces in a large bowl, and add the onion, celery and vinegar. Toss and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Pour the blender mixture over the vegetables and mix well. Add the chopped egg whites, chives, dill and parsley, and fold them inches
• Chill for several hours. If you like, sprinkle with paprika just before serving.
• P.S. This stuff tastes EVEN BETTER the day after it's prepared! MAKES 10 SERVINGS.
