    Poor cauliflower. No one wants it for what it is.

    I must be seriously PMS'ing. I read this and got sad, and started feeling bad for the cauliflower.

    will the recipe turn out ok if you replace the whole eggs with eggbeaters ( or eggwhites only)?

    Ok, so out of every 100 people, one half of a person is gluten intolerant. Is it their right half or the left half? I think maybe the cauliflower boom is cause people have been taught that carbs are supposedly bad. I like cauliflower, just not as a breadstick :smile:

    I really don't think this is as good as breadsticks, with you know, bread but whatever floats your boat! :indifferent:

    Really unless you have a medical condition that makes it you can't eat bread there is no reason to sub bread for cauliflowers :noway:

    Cauliflower is for salads and for steaming. Next thing you'll know there'll be cauliflower candy.

    perhaps....however I find it quite boring to only steam and eat cauliflower in salads...is that really all you can think to do with it?

    Wow...I'm gonna walk the path less taken here and NOT criticize what sounds like a great recipe.
    (BTW...for those that are wondering; Carbs. That's why Cauliflower. This is great for KETO)

    I was looking for Nutritional Info as well....Assuming that you cut them 5 times vertical, and 1 time horizontal (making 10 "Bread" sticks) this is what i got...

    Making them now! I'm so excited for this recipe, since I cannot eat bread! I added some protein powder, just to give them a boost, and I can't wait to try them. Thanks for the recipe!

    Sounds yummy! I'll have to try!

    I'll share a recipe for cauliflower alfredo sauce.

    1 Big head of cauliflower
    1/2 onion white or yellow
    couple cloves of garlic
    1 or 2 tsp of oil to coat
    12 oz of chicken broth
    1/2 cup grated/shredded parmesan cheese
    Optional: herbs like oregano or basil, Garlic Salt, Pepper or Reg salt, up to your taste.

    Boil cauliflower in chicken broth until soft like mashed potatoes. Saute onions and garlic with oil in a frying pan. Blend all ingredients together in blender. Makes a ton of sauce. Depending on how much broth you use, sauce may get watery after being refrigerated, so re blend and experiment with broth amount.

    When I feel like I have had too many carbs for a day, I'll put it over spaghetti squash instead of noodles. Hope you enjoy!
