>> the recipe we have coming every year, there seems to be a vegetable that, for one reason or another, becomes the new go to favorite. last year, kale seemed to be the produce picked of stores. this year, cauliflower is following in its footsteps. the same smothered with cheese sausage cauliflower that many of us grew up with is now prepared and all sorts of new ways. if you have never tried it roasted, you are missing out. you see, roasting it with some olive oil and in a hot oven, brings out the natural sugar and allows the edges to get crispy. how about placing a whole head of cauliflower and grilling it until it is tender on the inside and has a smoky taste through and through. and a really big craze is mashing it after it is steamed or boiled. all we have to do is add some butter, sour cream and a few off-the-shelf spices. it doesn't get any easier than

and feeling like mass potatoes without all the carbohydrates. if you want, you can dress this up with fresh herbs. and you will have a go along that is both tasty and trendy. i hope you go online and get the recipe for our mashed and smashed cauliflower -- so you are in the no when it comes to picking the hottest produce. i'm howard in the mr. food test kitchen where today we found a different way for you to say, ooh, it is so good. it is random acts of

-- you this is everything that i have. my family. alyssa, she's 6 years old. recently she just learned about rosa parks. she asked me did rosa parks not give up her seat for a white man? and i said, yes, and i had to explain to her that it's not really over. this is what mommy is. i'm an activist and the same thing martin luther king was, he fought for her rights, this is the same thing i'm doing in honor of her pop-pop. my dad's name is eric garner.

they don't know what they took from us. i'm just trying to get the truth out there. he was being a loving, caring man that he was, and he was murdered. for a whole year i've protested. i feel like a representative; because i'm doing this, i'm speaking out, me being his daughter. i'm never giving up. i'm never gonna forget what happened to my dad. our people died for this, martin luther king died for this. i'm behind anyone who's gonna listen and speak up for us, and i think we need to believe in a leader like bernie sanders. it is not acceptable to me that we have seen young black men be beaten and be killed unjustly. people are dying.

we need a president that's gonna talk about it. i want to see an america where when young black men walk down the street they will not be harassed by police officers, they will not be killed, they will not be shot. that's why i'm for bernie.
