Introduce your friends and family to a healthy alternative to the traditional Thanksgiving side dishes! Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable, which means it is associated with cancer prevention and delivers a high dose of vitamin C for fighting those wintery colds. However, don’t completely eliminate potatoes! Potatoes are packed with potassium and fiber; roast them in the oven with other vegetables instead of the typical mashed style that requires loads of butter and salt.
