Cauliflower and Carrot Puree from A Duck's Oven. A filling and healthy side dish that's very easy to make!

As I mentioned in my last post, I’m currently embarking on a culinary journey that excludes dairy (no!), grain (it can’t be!), sugar (blasphemy!), and … alcohol (several expletives!). That’s right, I have not had a beer in 21 days. Not that I’m counting or anything.

It’s actually been a truly wonderful experience. I’m learning more and more about what my body likes and I’m trying brand new foods, flavors, and ways of cooking. I’ve found that I’m much more sensitive to even subtle flavors, and I feel great. If you’re curious, here’s more info about what I’m doing.

Now onto the recipe! I have a huge soft spot for mashed potatoes- they’ve been perhaps the hardest thing to resist for me. So I made this purée with the hopes it would help curb that craving, and it totally did! It was savory, flavorful, and the texture was perfect. I hope you like it as much as I did!
