I'm kind of a (re) newbie here, so my pork-off I prepared yesterday may have been something similar to a previous post, but just in case...

For lunch yesterday, jalapeno poppers, cream cheese and shredded sharp cheddar (from the block, don't buy pre-shredded stuff, it's coated in essentially saw dust as an anti-caking agent). Cut the peppers in the center, lengthwise and de-seed with a spoon.  Wrapped in half a piece of thick cut bacon and black peppered, on a sheet pan with parchment and on the Traeger.  Did not flip, but brought in and finished under the broiler.  You get to save the grease thataway.

Pork Loin, simply a dry rub with Meat Church BBQ Rub.  Did not see the banished ingredient "sugar" on the label.

After those were on, I diced up a 7 lb pork butt and put it next to the others in cast iron with a little season salt and chili powder, to get some smoke for 4 hours before bringing it in and putting it in the crockpot for another 4 hrs on high.  Chat GPT "Chili Colorado" for the rest that went with it.  Substituted cilantro for the coriander seeds.  I know that dish calls for beef, but I can't afford that delicacy.  The pork butt was $11 on sale, and a beef roast would have been $56+.  

To go with that, did a head of cauliflower in the instant pot, and stirred in the leftover cream and cheddar cheese mixture.

We sure are suffering hard on this Keto thing, I'll tell ya.

Mashed cauliflower is a damn good substitute for mashed potatoes, I have discovered.  Doesn't even make you think it's "healthy."

B/C nobody eats mashed potatoes for the potato. They eat it for the butter and cream and seasoning. 

Potatoes are merely a vessel for other flavor. Cauliflower can also adequately serve as that vessel.

Cauliflower has a distinctive flavor of its own that is offputting to some.

I'm okay with it, I don't love it.  But some folks hate it.
