We don’t diet in our house.  (We know diets don’t work.)

However, we do try to make healthy choices.

So, I was pleased to try riced cauliflower – which I like pretty well as a substitute for white rice.

Then there’s cauliflower mash – which is supposed to be a substitute for mashed potatoes.

And it could work.  You put stuff on your mashed potatoes, so the underlying flavor isn’t that important, plus I like the flavor of cauliflower anyway.

Here’s the problem.

Mashed cauliflower (or potatoes or sweet potatoes – or pretty much anything) shouldn’t be so thin and runny that you can’t serve it with a slotted spoon.

Seriously.  This is not a mash – this is slightly thickened soup.

And the kind I tried is even the “New thicker recipe” version – what was it before?  Cloudy water?

And yes, I did follow the instructions.

Get it together Green Giant.

Ho, Ho, NO!!!!
