KATHY'S LOW CARB CROUTON KISSES Recipe provided by onlylowcarb.com My family and friends love Mike's salad and always ask for the LC Crouton Kisses! I am always making them and giving them to friends! Take 4 to 6 slices of Low Carb Bread and cut into home style size crouton squares and place in a zip lock baggie with 1 to 2 tbsp of extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 tsp dry garlic, 2 tsp of parsley 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp white pepper, 1 tsp paprika Zip lock the bag and shake it really good, to coat all the croutons!! Pour 1/2 inch of regular Olive oil or Canola oil into a large frying pan and heat burner to med/high heat. When the oil heats up place the croutons in the pan. They cook fast so pay attention and turn them quickly to cook the other side. Do not stir, they should lay flat in the oil, and not layered. I use small metal tongs to flip each one. When lightly browned place on paper towels to drain off excess oil. Salt to taste! Note: you may use any spices you wish to coat your croutons. Freeze the left over's in individual serving size baggies for convenience.

These are so good, it's like your cheating on your diet, but your not!! Visitors Choice for Best Recipe of the Week!    Caulifower slightly mashed with cheddar cheese. Delicious!!!! CAULIFLOWER MASH Below- Plain Cauliflower Mashed with a little Monterey Jack Cheese and sauted onion, then baked and very GOOD! 
 Pictures Left to Right- Raw Cauliflower Florettes- Boiled, Mashed and seasoned- After Baking Recipe variations provided by onlylowcarb.com! There is a variety of ways to change the flavor of this simple dish because the cauliflower takes on the flavor of the seasoning you add to it. 1 large head of cauliflower (washed & cored) Heavy whipping Cream 1 stick of butter Sea Salt Cracked peppercorn Place cauliflower in a large pot of boiling water and bring back to boil. Boil slowly uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes. The cauliflower is done when when a knife pierces the stem easily. Place the cooked cauliflower in a colander to drain. Take a paper towel and pat it dry once the cauliflower is warm not steaming hot. Place the cauliflower back in the pot it was cooked in minus the water. Take a hand Potato masher and mash it until it is just a little lumpy(if you like the consistency runny use a food processor). Add as much butter as you desire (I use 1/2 stick or more depending on the size of the cauliflower). Then add 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream. You can heat this dish up in the pot on your stove or place in a casserole dish and heat in the oven on 350° for about 10 to 20 minutes. You can get creative and add sour cream, bacon pieces, cheddar cheese cream cheese, cooked onion til browned, chives, garlic or whatever you decide. I like to reheat in the oven with either a few extra pats of butter or mix it with sour cream, garlic, salt and pepper or you can make a cheese sauce on your stove using 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, 3 oz cream cheese and 1 cup cheddar. Do not mash the cauliflower to mashed potato consistency, but to a very lumpy consistency. Pour sauce over cauliflower and bake for 15 - 25 minutes in a 350°oven. It is reheated when the sauce is bubbling. Just get really creative with this incredible low carb vegetable. The results are worth the extra time! I have a pic of my dish. It's the lumpy consistency with the cheese sauce. Enjoy!
