Recipe : Double Parmesan Mashed Cauliflower

Creamy, buttery mashed cauliflower is the low carb side dish of your dreams

Boil 6 cups fresh cauliflower florets in salted water until super tender.
Drain well and place in a food processor (I prefer my immersion blender to get it real smooth most times)
2tbsp grass-fed butter, 1/2 cup finely grated high quality Parmesan cheese & 1-2tbsp sour cream.

Pulse until smooth & don’t add any other liquid if you can help it, but if you must then add more sour cream. The chives & extra kerrygold butter are a non-negotiable

Chia Pudding (keto friendly)

Ingredients
  • 3-4 Tablespoons chia seeds

  • 1 cup milk - unsweetened coconut, almond or cashew milk

  • 1/2 Tablespoon sweetener of choice

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla optional

  • Toppings of choice: fresh berries or other fruit granola, nut butter, cinnamon, etc


Directions
1, Mix: In a bowl or mason jar, stir together chia seeds, milk, maple syrup and vanilla, if using. If you’re using a mason jar, you can put the lid on and shake the mixture to combine everything.

2. Give it time to set: Once the chia pudding mixture is well combined, let it sit for 5 minutes, give it another stir/shake to break up any clumps of chia seeds, cover and put the mixture in the fridge to “set" for 1-2 hours or overnight. The chia pudding should be nice and thick, not liquidy. If it's not thick enough, just add more chia seeds (about 1 Tablespoon), stir and refrigerate for another 30 minutes or so.

How to store: Chia pudding can be stored for up to 5-7 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

NOTES
You can also prep you pudding the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight if that’s easier. When ready to serve top the pudding with berries and enjoy.
Dairy milk, almond milk or cashew milk will make a light, creamy chia pudding. Canned coconut milk will make for a rich and thick pudding.
