Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

Fake your way into their hearts. Cauliflower has a wonderful, versatile quality with healthy undertones. Coupled with cream cheese and chives, this illusionist has replaced the mashed potato.

1 medium head cauliflower, rinsed
1 tablespoon softened cream cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon chicken base paste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh chives, for garnish
3 tablespoons butter
Bring a large pan of water to a boil over high heat.
Meanwhile, cut the cauliflower into small florets. Place in the boiling water and cook for 6-8 minutes or until the cauliflower is easily pierced with a fork. Drain well then spread the cauliflower out on paper toweling to dry.
Combine the cauliflower, cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, chicken base, and black pepper in a food processor. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the workbowl as needed.
Transfer the cauliflower puree to a serving dish and garnish with chives and top with butter.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

This recipe is AMAZING!! So creamy and rich yummy taste!!! I served it just as it says and did NOT add the butter at the end but it didn't need it. I threw everything in my blender including boulin cube and added some of the hot water that the cauliflower cooked in. I must admit though... I'm not a measurer so I just added water with a ladle. I saved this recipe and am thinking it's going to become a staple in my recipes!!! GOOD JOB!!!
