I have two kids who hate to eat vegetables. I'm looking for a good recipe to make it so maybe they'll at least try it. Any suggestions?

I made cauliflower "fried rice" the other day. You cut up a head of cauliflower and put it into your food processor or blender, and pulse it until you get a grainy consistency. Put that into a big pan, and heat it up with some mixed vegetables, low sodium soy sauce and an egg. I cooked up some teriyaki chicken (cut up chicken breast and some teriyaki marinade w/ pineapple juice) on the side to add to it, but I could have eaten the cauliflower mixture plain. It's a way to "hide" the vegetable from your kids, and it tastes good.0

Honestly, the way my mother makes it is my favorite. She steams it just until it is crisp tender then she puts it in a buttered casserole dish and sprinkles it with grated sharp cheddar cheese and then sprinkles homemade breadcrumbs, that have been tossed in melted butter, on top before baking for 20 minutes. It is deeeelish!0

throw whole bag frozen into pan. top with 2-4 slices american cheese. add tablespoon or teaspoon of butter. add cayenne salt and pepper. Place lid on the whole thing and cook on medium heat until cheese starts melting. Keep "steaming" this way until cooked through and smoothed and coated from stirring.

Not really healthy, but cauliflower with a cheese sauce over it and then baked until golden in the oven. YUM.0

I make roasted cauliflower soup. It's sooooo creamy and velvety. Tastes and smells completely different than regular steamed cauli.

I also have a recipe from my Romanian grandma that goes something like this:
Cut cauli into florets
Dip each floret into seasoned whisked egg
roll in breadcrumbs
layer in sprayed roasting dish
top with a little nutmeg, and shredded mozz
Roast at 375 till golden
serve with sour cream.
It's really really good.0 -

Just roasted with a bit of olive oil and spices, or mashed with some cream cheese. Seriously I could eat the whole head that way. So good.0

I like it when its "mashed potato's"0

I love it as is. If I get a bag of frozen florets, I just put them in a bowl and microwave it for 2 minutes, then stir, then microwave for 2 more minutes. Perfectly steamed. I add some salt on top. And that's it.0

Thanks for the recipe! I think I'll try the cauliflower buffalo bites this way instead of with the cup of flour in the other recipe.0

Someone mentioned "mashed potatoes." What you do for that is chop up a whole head of cauliflower, boil pieces until tender, put into food processor while still warm, add 1/2 tablespoon of butter, 2 tablespoons light cream cheese, salt, pepper and let it go until it's silky. The cream cheese makes it a little thicker and there's minimal taste difference between "mashed cauliflower" and mashed potatoes. I have added a clove of garlic before and that gives them a little extra kick.0
