Teri Anne Finnerty of Marshalltown, Iowa shares this no-fuss way to jazz up cauliflower...or most any vegetable. "A friend used this recipe with broccoli," she notes. "Now our sons enjoy both cauliflower and broccoli served this way."

5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon salt

I thought the garlic was a little overwhelming even though I love garlic. My husband loved this though.
