Day 75: Whipped Parmesan Cauliflower Puree

Fair warning, I'll probably be cooking out of the "Skinnytaste: Fast and Slow" cookbook for a while, I love this book!! The only thing I added to this recipe were the herbs and extra seasoning. I needed a good side dish and its been a while since I've had cauliflower and I need to incorporate more veggies into my diet so here we are. Let me just tell you, my husband was not thrilled when I told him that this was our side dish for the night. Once he tried it though-- THAT was a different story; he even went back for seconds :) Enjoy!

*Ingredients
1 medium heada cauliflower (about 1 1/2 lbs), cut into florets
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 cup 2% milk
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 TBS whipped butter
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup grated light Havarti cheese (I used regular Havarti cheese)
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried rosemary

*Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and garlic and boil until the cauliflower is soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain, and return the vegetables to the pot.
Add the milk, Parmesan, butter, salt, and pepper to taste. Puree the mixture right in the pot with an immersion blender until smooth (I used my Ninja blender, there's a soup setting). Stir in the Havarti cheese until melted; serve hot.
