While I struggle to let go of the Summer weather and all it’s “go! go! go!” energy; warm and delicious #comfortfood dishes like these can sometimes ease the pain. 😉

I was asked to do an online cooking demo for a VIP digi-party and I chose to make this family favorite.  You will usually see it with white potato, corn and hamburger, but as The Healthy Godmother, I gotta make it #betterthan!

Cauliflower mash makes it lower glycemic, but I like to add 2-3 small real taters to the mix to add flavor and improve the consistency. So when I heard that purple potatoes (have way more anti-oxidants, #eattherainbow) were on sale at Whole Foods, I was in full on #crownchakra mode. And then I found a head of purple cauliflower also…? I knew I was really tapped into the Devine. 😉 (You can also use sweet potatoes and orange cauliflower if you want to tap into those sacral chakra energies.)

I use peas rather than corn, because corn is so hard to digest and I feel like I have used up my “local corn on the cob” points for the season.

For the meat you can use any type of burger: beef, turkey, chicken… just buy it as local, happy, grass fed, as you can.
