 Microwave Cheesy Garlic Mashed Cauliflower~

We love cauliflower in my family and eat it all the time.
When I saw this recipe,
I knew it would soon become a family favorite.
I can't wait to try this recipe in the fall,
when I can buy fresh cauliflower at the farmers market but
until then, store bought works just fine.
