Creamy Ranch Chicken & Mashed Fauxtatoes

So, we were supposed to have people over tonight, but due to the weather we aren't. This caused me to have to make tomorrow's meal today. Today on the menu is Creamy Ranch Chicken and Fauxtatoes. Creamy Ranch Chicken is taken from food.com and Fauxtatoes is taken directly from Eat, Shrink and be Merry. The crock pot was SOOOO easy to put together. I love recipes taht allow me to simply throw the items in the crock pot and leave it. My kind of cooking right there. A simple stir every once in a while during the day and we are done in time for dinner. The fauxtatoes might be a little more interesting.

I am looking forward to feeding this to my kids as they apparently LOVE mashed potatoes and chicken. We will see how dinner time goes.

4 boneless skinless chicken breast

1 package ranch dressing mix

1 cup light sour cream

1 can low fat cream of chicken soup

1/2 chopped onion

1/2 cup water

pinch of salt

pepper

Mashed Fauxtatoes - INGREDIENTS

1 large head cauliflower

1/2 cup low fat cream cheese based onion dip

1/4 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

Cut your cauliflower into small florets. Steam it for about 15-20 minutes until it is very tender but not mushy.

Transfer cauliflower to a blender. You will need to work in small batches. Whirl it until smooth (no lumps). Add onion dip and salt. May need to be reaheated if you have taken awhile getting it all smooth.
