Bob’s Farm to Table: Move over mashed potatoes! Smashed cauliflower is a low-calorie and low-carbohydrate alternative that looks and tastes a whole lot like your standard mashed spud. Like potatoes, cauliflower loves to soak up the flavor of other ingredients, so the secret is to season the smash just as you would season your mash. Say that five times fast!
