Skinny Mashed Potatoes. Mashed potatoes are one of my favorite things to eat on Thanksgiving, but this year since I am pregnant and on a really strict low carb diet (for my diabetes) real mashed potatoes are out (bummer). I recently started researching alternatives to some of my favorite dishes because there is NO way my plate will be without a big ole pile of mash potatoes. I came across this recipe that uses cauliflower instead of potatoes. Hmmm not a big cauliflower fan so I wasn't sure. If there is a choice of either celery or cauliflower in a veggie dish 9 times out of 10 I will choose the celery.

BUT I decided to give it a try since the reviews were outstanding. ***BEST MOCK mashed potatoes I have ever had! *** What you will need: 1 head of cauliflower 1 tablespoon of cream cheese1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic1/2 teaspoon of salt5 or so dashes of pepperChives for garnish Directions:Wash and cut cauliflower into small pieces.

Skinny Tzatziki. Tzatziki is a classic Greek cucumber yogurt sauce or dip. It is served as a condiment on gyros, fish and souvlakis, and other Greek dishes or it is served as a dip with pita wedges. I personally love it on my Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts, on chicken burgers, as a dip with crudites and even drizzled over Greek salad. My lightened up version is fat free and just as delicious.

I can't think of a better time to make this with all the cucumbers and fresh herbs growing in my garden right now. Chives aren't typically added but I love the flavor it adds to it. Some people also like to add mint leaves.

Related. Beer-soaked 'fries' are baked to crispy perfection. Every other month, the cheery folks at "Great Day St.

Louis" invite me on the show to cook something using beer as an ingredient. Today's recipe was one of my favorites yet: beer-soaked fries that you bake, not fry. I discovered the recipe from The Edible Perspective when a friend posted it on Twitter a few months ago. The spuds turn out great no matter what kind of beer you use -- I've experimented with pilsners, Belgian-style ales, India pale ales, saisons and more. Today I used Cast Iron Brown Ale, a roasty, smooth brew from the new 4 Hands Brewing Co. in St. My theory is that beer's natural sugars help promote browning in the oven, making the fries crispy on the outside, pillowy on the inside, like you expect from the deep-fried version.
