with house salad

Active: 25 min Total: 25 min
With your chili already made, tonight's dinner is a cinch. If you're just starting the paleo lifestyle, you'll definitely love whipped cauliflower as an alternative to mashed potatoes for all your fall gatherings.
Smarts: Whipped cauliflower will freeze beautifully, so double for a second batch that you can save for later.
