Tantalizing Tuesday...The Mashed Green Stuff

The Mashed Green Stuff

This is one dish my grandson absolutely loves! We don't quite tell him what it is, just that it's "like mashed potatoes with green coloring". Satisfies him, and we know he's getting some excellent sources of vitamins that are much needed in his diet.

Ingredients

1 bag frozen cauliflower florets

1 bag frozen broccoli florets

1-tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup non-fat milk

2 tablespoons Heart Smart

salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Place oil in a large bowl with a sealable lid.

Add broccoli and cauliflower florets. Seal and shake heartily to coat all pieces with oil.

Remove florets from bowl and place on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

Bake in a 375-degree oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until vegetables are "mash ready" [very tender].

Remove from pan and place in a mixing bowl.

Using a potato masher, mash into a rough consistency [or smoother if you prefer].

Add milk and margarine. Mix well. Salt and pepper to taste.

The kids love this!!!
