  1. What do you recommend in place of almond meal? Would cornmeal or whole wheat flour work ok? (I am not paleo, just like the recipe, but I am allergic to almond) Thank you!

  2. Canned or refrigerated coconut milk? Can I sub corn or something else for cauliflower? I dislike cauliflower and broccoli.

    1. Pam – We use canned coconut milk in all our recipes unless stated otherwise. The cauliflower is what helps make the potato topping. You could certainly sub for all sweet potatoes. I am unsure how corn would turn out.

    1. You can use another dairy free milk. Full fat would be best as this is going to whip to make the mashed potato topping.
