Cauliflower Mash: Family Central Edmonton Episode for Telus Optik Local TV
My children won't eat cauliflower. It's right up there with brussel sprouts and spinach. Raw, steamed, stir-fried or even tempura-coated, they aren't interested. I have yet to try chocolate-dipped but I'm sure they would just lick off the chocolate ;) (I jest, of course!) Sadly,...
