Creamy Whipped Cauliflower

Joe and I have always been indifferent to cauliflower, and it's been indifferent right back...until the day I found this recipe from Eating Well. I have never seen Joe so excited about vegetables until then. Seriously, his eyes light up when I mention whipped cauliflower. Of course, we made changes to suit our own tastes, but every good cook does that!

What's even better than liking cauliflower? Liking a cauliflower recipe that is amazingly creamy and full of flavor while still being low in fat and calories. What a delicious way to change up your veggie recipe line-up.
