New take on fauxtatoes
Hi,
I made something today, that was so much like mashed potatoes, I really felt guilty. It's not the lowest in carbs, but it's OK for later stages. 1/2 Rutabaga 3/4 head of cauliflower (I had it left in the fridge) 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup heavy cream Steam the veggies until soft. Put everything in food processor and process until smooth. By my best guesstimate this has about 10g carbs per half cup serving. I ate about a full cup tonight, it was so good. I guess I had good reason to feel guilty. Next time, I will use turnips. That would bring the carb count way down to about 5g per half cup. Turnips, btw, are the smaller ones. Rutabagas are the bigger ones. -- Jim 231/194?/197 Atkins since 22 May '03 Gym since 1 sept '03 |
