Growing up I loved mashed potatoes. I’ve been known to eat a whole bowl of it from Thanksgiving leftovers. Now that I’m trying to follow a low glycemic diet, I’ve found a lot of other yummy vegetables to mash. One of my favorite go-to recipes, in addition to mashed garlic and rosemary cauliflower, is mashed broccoli. Surprisingly, all it needs is a little salt and pepper to taste. For a Paleo recipe, use bone broth instead of water.

I am definitely going to try this for dinner tonight! Sounds delicious but super paleo!
Glad you like the recipe. It's one of my favorites
What a surprising and different way to enjoy my favorite vegetable, broccoli. And what a smart way to soothe those creamy cravings we get. I also love your recipe for mashed cauliflower. So glad I found your blog on Healing with Food Friday.
Thank you for supporting my blog. I really appreciate it : ) I love to blend up my vegetables, it's more like comfort food and it's easier to layer flavors with fresh herbs. Try carrots and fresh rosemary, I haven't posted it yet but it's a favorite of mine.
