it was inevitable....my mother is a cook ( i would say chef ) and i've always loved what she served us and she has always taken great care in providing us with healthy & delicious meals. i was inspired to do the same for my family & i hope my daughters do the same for theirs. i feel bad when i hear about young ladies getting married & not knowing how to cook anything but boxed mac & cheese. actually, last week was the first time that i made baked ziti & i've been married almost 10 years. i know some people make it once a week (which is fine if that's what they want to keep doing, but for those who are looking for a change, I thought I'd give some inspiration). and so, i have started a food blog to help get some creative juices flowing.

"very garlicky" mashed cauliflower

i swiped this picture from the internet since i forgot to take a picture of mine.

1 very large head of cauliflower (or you can use 2 bgs frozen)
1 bulb garlic sliced horizonally (in skin)
2 Tbs butter
2 Tbs heavy whipping cream
coarse salt (quite a bit)

first, open sliced bulb of garlic up(leave in shell) & pour olive oil on top of garlic. wrap in foil.
bake at 400 for 30 min or until very soft.
next, boil cauliflower until it's overcooked. don't leave in water too long otherwise
it will end up runny (that's what happened to me this time)
drain very well.
put in mixer or mixing bowl if you have a hand mixer
when garlic is done, pinch out the garlic from the bulb & add to cauliflower
add butter & mix
add cream & salt & mix
add more salt as necessary.
fresh ground pepper if you like or fresh chopped chives
