That's just silly!

I happened upon some "advice" on replacing bad for you comfort foods with healthier alternatives that made me laugh.

In place of mashed potatoes, boil up some cauliflower in chicken broth (low-fat and no salt, of course) and then mash or puree it with a bit of olive oil and a little skim milk. Supposedly, no one will notice the difference.

Yeah, sure. Mashed cauliflower is exactly like mashed potatoes. Oh, except for the taste. And the look. Or the texture. Oh, and how about THE SMELL???

Really, do you think no one would notice? "Hey, Ma, why do these potatoes taste like cauliflower, chicken and olive oil? And why are they so watery and thin? What the heck did you do to them?".

Silly.

I don't care how crazy this world gets with the health food craze, I will not give up my comfort foods.
They may be high calorie and artery clogging but a good romp will take care of that in a hurry right? Lol ;0)
