Do You Love Mashed Potatoes? Try This Cauliflower and Millet Mash!

My new favorite TV show is on BBC America.  It's called "You Are What You Eat." Hosted by Dr. Jillian McKeith, a holistic nutritionist, it is a pretty eye-opening insight into the realities of obesity.  Watching it actually brainwashes me to want to eat more healthfully.  Genius!

Recipe adapted from a recipe by Dr. Jillian McKeith.  This is a great substitute for mashed potatoes. It's a very nice side dish for any protein or can be topped with a vegetable "stew" for a completely vegan meal.

Cauliflower and Millet Mash
