    Oh please dear God tell me this is a joke. I've seen so much weird *kitten* passed off as alternative recipes that I just don't know any more. :sad:

    Ok, I am just gonna say it - that sounds repulsive - but you get points for being creative

    No need to be rude. Cauliflower has a natural sweetness that can be enhanced by adding brown sugar and cinnamon. Eating low carb is tough, but worth it.

    Not to be rude, but.......Um, HELLO!!! Brown sugar is a CARB! You should know that by now. I NEVER use brown sugar on MY cauliflower oatmeal. Duh. :noway:

    Um, sugar is not a carb, it is a sugar. Check your Nutrition facts. It has Carbs listed THEN sugar. Seperately.

    I suggest you take a look at the wikipedia page for sugar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar). It is most definitely a carb.

    Your mom is a carb!

    Oh, dear God! Thank you so much!

    Now I have a healthy alternative to that horribly unhealthy oatmeal. Do you think you could figure out a way to make fruit and chicken out of cauliflower, too?

    Also, carbs are not evil, and the oats are just about the best form of grain out there. Slow digesting, lots of fiber, and a fair amount of protein for a grain. You could do a lot worse.

    I beg to differ!!!

    Definitely evil.

    Sounds like it'd be good for digestion but how long do you have to simmer before they get tender?

    this thread got my creative mind thinking. What else can cauliflower do? Is there anything it actually cant do? Hmmmm....let's see what else we can do with it.

    Cauliflower jerky
    BBQ Cauliflower
    Cauliflower Hot Dogs
    Cauliflower cereal

    Oh the possibilities are endless.

    No way. Cauliflower is only a few centuries old. Our digestive tracts haven't evolved well enough to process it. We've been drinking milk, and eating grain longer and we still haven't evolved well enough to digest those. Learn your science son!


    ***Disclaimer: Nah. I'm just playin. This sounds delicious.

    ***Double Disclaimer: While I am just playin, this mess sounds nasty. Good luck on your journey, hippy.

    ETA: Nah I'm just plain. Despite it not being a real flower and looking like a brain, I like cauliflower.

    Wtf is up with the current cauliflower fad?

    So I am a big fan of oatmeal, but OMG the carbs!!! So I was trying to figure out a replacement and suddenly thought..."Why not Cauliflower?!"

    I steamed a head of cauliflower in the microwave for 8 minutes, then pureed in a food processor. Added a bit of milk (fat free), cinnamom, and brown sugar, let it sit in the fridge overnight, and voila!! Tastes exactly like oatmeal!!

    Pics to follow!

    That is living on the edge!

    I think it sounds great! I don't know why some people are giving you a hard time. I'm going to try using cauliflower as a filler for some stuff. Cool idea :)
