If your tots never tire of mashed potatoes, consider swapping out the root for a vegetable. Simply steam or lightly boil cauliflower florets, then strain them and add a bit of milk or broth and a dab of butter. Use a hand-mixer to puree the ingredients and then salt and pepper them to taste before plating.

In a continued effort to detox after a serious day of gluttony this past weekend, I'm trying to lighten up on the meat and grease and focus on the vegetables. This recipe from dlmslp is just what I need — something that's more vegetables than anything else, but still full flavored.

With all this talk about eating colorful fruits and veggies, pale cauliflower often gets left out in the cold. Just because it lacks color doesn't mean you should neglect this veggie.
First off, cauliflower is in season from December to March, so it should be easy to find a nice head of it at your grocery store.

In honor of Passover starting on Monday, I thought a classic Jewish side would be appropriately timely. Kugel is generally served as a side dish on the Jewish Sabbath and is a baked pudding that can consist of potatoes, noodles, meat, or vegetables. The ingredients vary and a sweet version with raisins and spices is an equally delicious dessert.
