Eggroll in a Bowl

This dish is another easy one to make. It doesn't take a lot of prep time or cooking time. My hubby and I really enjoyed it! I used turkey meat instead of pork, but you can use the meat of your choice. I love cooking "Chinese food".

Mashed Cauliflower

I have been on a cauliflower kick lately, which isn't a bad thing. I'm not the biggest fan of mashed potatoes because they are made with dairy. And when I do eat them (after taking the necessary pills) I want them smooth and creamy--definitely not instant ones! This recipe can be a little fattening because of the butter and milk but they are delicious and it's still healthier to use cauliflower, rather than potatoes. They taste amazing, but if you are not a cauliflower fan to begin with--you'll definitely know this dish really isn't potatoes.

Ingredients


1 cup of cauliflower
1/4 cup of almond milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
Pepper
2 Tablespoons of vegan butter

Directions

1. Break cauliflower into chunks and boil until tender
2. Once they are tender, place them in the food processor 
3. Add milk, garlic, pepper and butter into processor

4. Puree until smooth
