Christmas dinner

I learned last night that my sister in law was making prime rib for Christmas dinner. I’m feeling extra spoiled today!

The mash is faux sweet potato casserole.

It’s cauliflower and butternut squash: roasted and puréed. I used cinnamon, Swerve, butter, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and garlic to season. It is supposed to have a pecan topping but my nephew has a nut allergy, so I left that off.

Any idea on the macros for that? I mean I could probably figure it out on my own, but it would be way easier if you already happen to have them. :slight_smile:

Here’s the recipe. It is a bit higher carb than some things I would eat on a normal day, but I like it for a special occasion. I’m sure leaving the nuts off reduces the carbs.

@AnnaLeeMI we are twins tonight. I also made Prime Rib and green beans but made a roasted cauliflower mash.

I could not finish my piece. Zomg it was so fatty and delicious. Probably tasted even better because I didn’t have to cook it. I’m going to see if I can rescue the fat leftovers/trimmings because I see my inlaws chucking it in the trash. I could seriously nosh on that prime rib fat for days.

Oh I gotta try that!

SIL was going to toss the drippings…noooo!! I saved them, phew. A whole liter. And some nice fat trimmings too :slight_smile:

Nice! Looks and sounds amazing but definitely not an every night thing. Saving this for sure. Thanks!

Sweet potato used to be one of my favorite things, so when I saw that recipe I got so excited. Then I tasted it and about died it was so good. The non low-carb people even loved it, and a couple didn’t know it wasn’t sweet potato.

One of the oooold recipes for cauli mash used one small potato plus a giant head of cauliflower. Higher carbs, but not by much, and it improves the mouth-feel. I will definitely give this version a whirl after my next zero carb adventure. :slight_smile:
