Breastfeeding Friendly Chive Mashed Cauliflower

Creamy, buttery, and flecked with bright green chives, this mashed cauliflower is the kind of comfort food that feels indulgent without weighing you down. Steaming the cauliflower until completely tender before blending it with warm whole milk and melted butter is the key to getting that silky, lump-free texture that makes every bite satisfying. Whole milk and unsalted butter give you real nourishment and healthy fats — exactly what your body needs when it's working hard to produce milk. Fresh chives add a gentle oniony lift that keeps the dish from feeling bland, and a handful of flat-leaf parsley can go in too if you want a little extra color and freshness. It comes together with just a handful of clean, recognizable ingredients and no processed shortcuts, so you always know exactly what you're eating. This is the kind of simple, nourishing side dish that pairs beautifully with almost any protein and is easy enough to make on a tired weeknight.
