Stir Fried Frozen Cauliflower

Stir Fried Frozen Cauliflower by Julia Ann Souders

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes by Robyn Savoie

Roasting garlic in the oven brings out its sweet, nutty flavor. So it doesn't overpower mellow mashed potatoes. If you're looking for a Diabetic and/or Low-Fat Friendly recipe, see my tip below. Serve these easy potatoes with a seasoned rotisserie chicken and steamed green beans. It's also great with pork.
