Alright, you hungry lot. I had a great cookbook to share this week (and I'll share it later) but I ended up catching a nasty virus that has me down pretty bad! Freddy Krueger has taken up residence in my throat and it's hard to swallow, but I did come up with something quick and easy that was both nourishing and satisfying: mashed cauliflower.
You might be saying, "I know about this already," but did you know that you can buy it mashed already as a frozen side at the grocery store? I'd forgotten that I'd even purchased it, but when I saw the rest of my family comfortably swallow their pizza tonight (lucky devils), I knew I had to have something comforting and good. I'm tired of soup and water, which is what I've had for the past four days! So I microwaved the frozen vegetable and added in some spices and voila, creamy deliciousness that eased my throat, if only for a moment. If you decide to do this, go with the store brand and not the name brand--it's cheaper and so good.
If you don't feel like peeling potatoes and making comfort mash, what do you do when you are sick? I'd love to read your recipes and see their photos in the comments below.
