Just had to share how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE cauliflower. I just roast the heck out of it in the oven (drizzled with a little olive oil and salt) and it's so satisfying to chew, and low in calories . . . YUM.

That is all. : )

    I do SO much with cauliflower I absolutely love it! Cinnamon/nutmeg spiced maple cauliflower at breakfast, garlic roasted for dinner, buffalo baked cauliflower, mashed cauliflower, cauliflower sautéed in leftover bacon or steak grease after roasting, pizza, rice alternative in some dishes....I absolutely love it and its versatility!(:

    I love the texture of cauliflower more than broccoli.

    My dh and mil make fried cauliflower. It's so damn good that I have dedicated an entire garden bed to growing just cauliflower

    I do the same but also add broccoli and sometimes asparagus spears. Sprinkle with a little parmesan and garlic powder before roasting, and dip into ceaser dressing.

    Yum to all! I have my own way of cutting up a head of it, but other suggestions welcomed! That's the only slightly annoying part (but totally worth it).

    I'm always worried about the nutrients being cooked out being in the oven for so long.. I leave mine in for 30-35 minutes, until they're crunchy.

    I always eat my cauliflower raw. I've got a head in the fridge now. After reading this post I think I'll try roasting it.

    after raw carrots and spinach, raw cauliflower is the best raw veggie.

    I'm not the biggest fan of cauliflower (watery cauliflower cheese is disgusting!) but I've found that I quite like it as a puree - steamed in the microwave, then pureed with a little bit of butter and milk added, it's a great side dish.

    I believe Under Armour actually mentioned cauliflower as one of the top foods that helps MFP subscribers lose weight and keep it off. I'll have to look for that article but it came out in the first quarter of this year, 2016.

    When I have a few extra calories and want a savory treat I will "rice" up a head of cauliflower, cook it until tender with a tbsp of olive oil and then melt in 2 oz of cream cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Throw in a few other veggies for fun. YUM! Super creamy and tasty.

    It's typically done in 10 for me, roasted.

    Raw dipped in baba ganoush is amazing.

    Okay, enough serial posting about cauliflower! ;-)

    Whether it's pureed or roasted, add a drizzle of white truffle oil to it. A-MAZING.
