My Easter menu changed a bit, since I couldn't find a decent roaster chicken. I got a nice turkey breast instead, which turned out great! So on Easter we had turkey breast, mashed cauliflower (my favorite recipe for that is below), french style green beans stir fried with bacon and ff onions, my favorite asparagus recipe (below), and heavenly eggs (I just don't like the name "deviled eggs"). For dessert we had almond cake, which could have turned out better, but it was good anyway. Used that as a short cake and topped with strawberries in sugar free glaze and whipped cream sweetened with 1 TBS. of sugar free vanilla pudding mix, and 1 packet Truvia.
Today this is what I did with the leftover mashed cauliflower to make a great sandwich. There are many things you can do with this. Some ideas below in the recipe.
