Cabbages are part of the family that also includes brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower. And celebrate the occassion. Howard has a special cauliflower recipe that youre family will love. Every year there seems to be a vegetable that for one reason or another becomes the new goto favorite. Last year kale seemed to be head of the class, and this year, cauliflower is following in its footsteps. Yup, the same smothered with cheese sauce cauliflower that many of us grew up with is now prepared in all sorts of new ways. If youve never tried it roasted then youre missing out.

And a real big craze is mashing it after its steamed or boiled. Then all we have to do is add some butter, sour cream and a few off the shelf spices. It doesnt get any easier than this. What we end up with looks and tastes like mashed potatoes, you can dress this up with some fresh herbs and youll have a goalong thats both tasty and trendy. I hope youll go online and get the recipe for our, mashed and smashed cauliflower, so youre in the know when it comes to picking the hottest produce. Im howard in the mr.
