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, I'd walk right by the cauliflower in the produce aisle, without giving it a second glance.

Until now.

Oh how parents come up with different ways to get their children to eat veggies!

This is another easy-to-make recipe and a great addition to any dinner plate.  Cauliflower is high in fiber and nutritionally dense. Coconut-anything, it seems, is all the rage and the new "super food" of the year.  Coconut milk lends a nutty flavor to the mash while subtly masking the taste of cauliflower that my children dislike.
