January 8, 2012This morning on the Today show (8 am hour), I'm revealing the trendiest health foods for 2012. I have lots of exciting things to share, so try to catch this one!

$Hoda says she craves creamy mashed potatoes, so I concocted a "skinnier" version of this comfort food classic. I combine white potatoes with steamed cauliflower to drive down the calories and carbs while maintaining a light, fluffy texture. These mashers have just 145 cals & 2 grams fat per cup--that's less than half the calories (and a fraction of the fat) of buttery, traditional versions. Here's my recipe: Slim-Style Mashed Potatoes Makes 12 cups. 5 Russet potatoes (skin on), cut into chunks 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets 3/4 cup milk (skim, soy or almond) 1/4 cup whipped butter 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper Optional toppings: parmesan cheese, light sour cream, chives, hot sauce, sliced jalapenos 1. Add the potatoes chunks to a large pot of boiling water and boil for 12-15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. 2. While the potatoes are cooking, microwave the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons water on high power for 10 minutes. Drain the cauliflower and add to the bowl with the potatoes. 3. Add the milk, butter, salt and pepper, and mix with a handheld electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add additional preferred herbs and seasonings, and serve with optional toppings.
