Low Carb Garlic Mashed Cauliflower "Potatoes"



Since, I usually have mashed potatoes with my meatloaf. I knew I couldn't have potatoes since it's high in carbohydrates. I used 2 bags of the cauliflower florets where you get the coleslaw in walmart in the produce section. Also I used my blender. but hoping to get a food processor so it can make creamy and smooth. and this is the result:

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, smashed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon reduced-fat cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black
pepper
Directions:
1. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. Transfer half the cauliflower to a food processor; cover and blend on high. Add remaining cauliflower florets, one at a time, until vegetables are creamy. Blend in garlic, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper.
