Notes
Mashed Cauliflower
You can make your own instead of using store bought if preferred. Just get a head of cauliflower, cut it into florets, steam it for 4 - 5 minutes, cool, and puree in a food processor or mash with a potato masher.
Shredded Zucchini
I used cheesecloth to squeeze out as much as I could and then spread the shredded zucchini on a rimmed baking sheet and put it in the oven at 250 degrees F for an hour while I did other things to help get rid of even more
