This sounds very good! I've made mashed cauliflower in the past and we liked it, but it didn't have something yummy like cream cheese in it. Is there a reason why steaming the cauliflower already cut up wouldn't work? It would take a much shorter time... or even cooking it in chicken broth? Thank you for this. I *do* get tired of the same side dishes!
