I sub out all or half cauliflower for potatoes in both mashed potatoes and even potato salad.

I add mushrooms to my meat based dishes. They have the same texture and flavor ~ nobody knows

What tricks do you use to cut calories but still eat well?
Oh yeah how are those Shiratake noodles? I've heard they're kinda gross. You have to rinse them a few times before using?
