My second cooking show on how to make low carb comfort foods. Fauxtatoes are a fantastic dish to have at Thanksgiving or for those who typically have to fight to get their veggies. A couple of my kids and my wife even make cameo appearances in this video. It’s the least I can do for all the taste testing I make them endure as I try new recipes. My non-low-carbing family members even like this recipe as an alternative to starchy mashed potatoes. Try this recipe; I reckon it’ll be a hit with you as well! Recipe: 1 Head Cauliflower 2.5 TBS Butter 1/3 cup Heavy Cream 1 Chicken Bouillon cube 1 tsp salt White pepper to taste Directions: * Cook Cauliflower until fork tender. Drain well. * Place cooked cauliflower and other ingredients (crush bouillon cube first) into the food processor. Run on high until consistency of mashed potatoes. You may need to scrape the sides of the bowl a couple times to prevent lumps.

They were fantastic and I felt like I was cheating. lol I tried doing Atkins like 9 years ago. I was doing pretty excellent, but this was back before I had a computer. Now it seems much simpler with people like yourself and others putting all these recipes out there.I feel like I have a better chance of staying on it. Thanks again
This recipe remains one of my favorites and surest -fire side dishes that everyone likes. I am glad you liked them.
Mmmmm I made fauxtatoes for dinner tonight. They were awesome. Keep up the excellent work
Awesome
Thanks.
Congrats on making the choice to eat healthy and be healthy. I am sure you’ll like it.
You and your family are adorable and you are just the inspiration I need and I am going to make these today. This is day 4 for me.
These are fantastic with steak.
Thanks Kent.
The only thing I can suggest is that too much water from the cauliflower is getting into the final mix. You might try paper towels and pressing the extra water out. Try the bullion cube too. It may soak up some of the water as well.
I make these a lot but mine seem to come out softer than yours. Don’t know what I’m doing incorrect. I cook the cauliflower in the microwave for 10 minutes, place it in the food processor and only add salt, pepper and some cream cheese and they still don’t look as firm as yours.
Kids may be too young to do full-fledge ketogenic diet outside doctor care, but they are not too young to be taught the dangers of refined sugars and unlimited starches. Another fantastic comment, thanks for watching!
Thanks for adding your kids, I reckon involving them would help them better to learn what your doing. And really, kids are amusing. Not to mention we single parents want to have ways to include our kids. I reckon what your doing is fantastic but will be more rewarding (and entertaining) if you include your family. I hope no one see’s this as a complaint, I just always worry about the rest of the family getting left behind when one member takes off on such an incredible journey. THANKS
You are very welcome. I am glad you liked them.
I chose to try this recipe out, and it’s truly superb. I finally have a excellent mashed potato substitute. Thanks from a fellow low carber!
Glad you liked them. It is somewhat incredible how excellent the low carb conversion foods even to non-low carbers taste buds as well.
I made them tonight, even though I was skeptical the were really excellent. Makes it simpler eating steak.
No, she’s Dutch as well, but with the freckles and much fairer skin. You were half right.
Tasha, call me in 6 years. Your wife must be really irish the both are really honest and with red hair.
Thanks for subscribing, and these are a fantastic way to add vegetables even for guys like myself who used to not like veggies. Excellent luck, and I hope to make another recipe video shortly.
I have tried these before, and they are yummy! I am post Gastric bypass, and this is a wonderful lifestyle, as long as I limit the stout..Thanks for you videos,I am Subscribing to your channel, so I can keep up with your vids!!

This is the perfect time with Thanksgiving right around the corner in US. I did really just make this tonight as well for my party.
I’m going to try this.You have gorgeous children.
Hi, just wanted to say that you are really helping me on my journey. I have just started eating like this again and the recipes are FANTASTIC. Makes it so much nicer to have all these ymmy things to eat. Keep them coming
Each serving (it makes ~6 servings) is about 7.5g carbs with 3.5g fiber, or 4 net grams of carbs per serving.
Yummy looks excellent, now I know what to be making for the holidays this year, how many carbs in this,I was just wondering
