Cauliflower and Carrot Puree

I took inspiration from Ina Garten's new cookbook, Make it Ahead for this recipe. I thought this turned out amazing and have been eating it for days since no one else in my family seemed adventurous enough to try this very simple recipe. This would make a delicious and healthy side dish for any holiday meal.



Cauliflower and Carrot Puree


Ingredients

1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets
4 large carrots, peeled, cut into 1 inch chunks
4 Tbsp butter
Salt and Pepper to taste


Recipe

Bring a large pot of water with cauliflower florets to boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until very soft. Drain and repeat with carrots. Place carrots and cauliflower into a food processor and puree until smooth. Melt butter in saucepan until golden in color. Add butter to carrots and cauliflower and season with salt and pepper. Stir until combined. Serve warm. Also can be reheated over medium low heat in a a saucepan.

Pinch & Dash does CAKES!!!

I'm just so proud of the Mickey Mouse cake I made for my nephew's 2nd birthday, I had to share a picture. Sorry no recipe. The cake is just a box cake mix, it is the decoration that really made this cake special. He even asked his mom if he could have MiMi (that's what he calls Mickey) cake for dinner.
