    DIY Almond Butter

This Thanksgiving here’s a sneaky way to lighten up the holiday menu. When you go to make mashed potatoes, skip the strachy-white spuds and use cauliflower instead!  I developed this recipe for the Hidden Valley Ranch Love Your Veggies Campaign. It’s the perfect substitute for mashed potatoes.  In fact, it’s so deceptively delicious, my family now prefers mock mashed potatoes over the original.  Go ahead a give it a try.  Can your family tell the difference?
