Garlic Mashed Cauliflower

Mashed potatoes are generally a household dinner staple across the USA. Yes they taste good, but they also don’t help with the up-trending waist circumferences across America (or the world for that matter). Some genius (definitely not me) decided to make a mock of this side dish and replaced the potatoes with cauliflower. By doing this, the nutritional status gets flipped from being fattening to down-right good for you! This is just one version that we made but you can definitely try all sorts of different types depending on the additions/spices.
