This is the best mashed potato sub I have tried. No one will complain when my Keto Mashed Cauliflower with Cream Cheese and Asiago take that starchy side’s place. The best part is this reheats well. Feel free to bake it the day before and then just microwave to reheat.

Keto Mashed Cauliflower with Cream Cheese and Asiago – Low Carb, Grain-Free, Gluten-Free, THM S

I was very excited when Better Homes & Gardens asked me to share a recipe with you. I’ve only been blogging for a little more than a year and this is my first guest post ever. I still can’t believe it’s on Delish Dish! How cool is that? 

I was able to choose any recipe on the BHG site to adapt. With Thanksgiving a week away I decided to take a classic side dish and make it low carb and Trim Healthy Mama friendly. I chose Cream Cheese Mashers with Kale Pesto knowing cauliflower would work to replace the potatoes.

We are traveling for Thanksgiving but I’m hoping my sister-in-law lets me help with Thanksgiving dinner. Besides the turkey, I’m hoping for a few solid low carb, THM S options.

My Keto Mashed Cauliflower with Cream Cheese and Asiago is a definite. Also in the options are a healthy green bean casserole, roasted broccoli, butternut squash, and my Braided Garlic Breadsticks. I might whip up some Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes to finish off the meal.

I love cooking so much that I end up there no matter where we are for holidays. I just elbow my relatives out of the way and plant myself before the stove. Half kidding. But at the very least I come armed with appetizers, sides, and pies from my own kitchen.

    • Not really. None of the ingredients have added sugar. The cauliflower, garlic, and cream cheese have small amounts of natural sugars.

  3. I was reading the nutritional label, which I appreciate you posting, but I did not see the serving size. Can you please let me know how big the serving size is? Thank you. Can’t wait to try this for Easter.

  4. My kids hate potatoes so I was on the search to find something to use as a side dish instead. I knew they liked cauliflower so decided to give this a go. THEY LOVED IT, even my fussy eldest tried it and asked for a second helping.

  5. Ok, I admit I was skeptical... but, my husband and I are trying to eat healthier and lose some weight. SO, I have taken to scouring Pinterest for delicious recipes that we can add to our arsenal. I ran this by my husband and we both decided that we could try it. That the only way to know if we hated it was to try. OH MY WORD!I was pleasantly surprised. This was so delicious that I want it every night. LOL!

  8. I made this and it was delicious!!! However I have so much leftover, can you freeze this??? I wasn’t sure what would happen to the texture or flavor quality?

      • Thank you, making this for a family dinner of about 15 people, might double and use a 9x13. But in the future for just me and my husband will use the pie dish. Thank you for sharing, can't wait to try this tonight.

  11. Hi Taryn, I'm sorry if I sound ignorant, but I can't find your "adaptations in the post text." I'm not an experimenting type of cook. After over 30 years of cooking, I still follow a recipe. I wish I didn't need to, but if I don't, our food wouldn't be edible:). Could you lead me to how you made this recipe? I would greatly appreciate it.Thanks so much for everything you share.

    • Hi Patricia, you have to click the link on the Delish Dish blog to get the original recipe on the BHG site. And then my adaptations are written out in the post. My suggestion would be to print the original and then just jot down my substitutions.
