    I added 2% velveta cheese to my steamed cauliflower and pretended it was mac and cheese! :o)

    Cauliflour Mash!!

    Makes 4 servings

    2 cups cooked cauliflower florets
    1 green onion, chopped
    2 tablespoon light sour cream
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    1/2 teaspoon salt

    Mix together hot mashed cauliflower, sour cream & butter until well blended, then add other ingredients. Mix well, check for seasonings and serve!

    I add cheese to mine (yum) and I use "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" instead of butter. This is my favorite way to eat cauliflower!

    Yummy! I'll be making this this weekend!

    I've fooled both my veggie hating little brother and likewise veggie hating brother-in-law. But everyone's palette is different.
    We usually steam the cauliflower until very tender over the boiling potatoes.

    Toss florets with a bit of olive oil, garlic and 1tsp cumin then roast...YUM! OR...

    Coconut lime Cauliflower and Curry Chickpea Stir-Fry

    1 tbsp coconut oil
    1 tbsp grated or finely chopped fresh ginger
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    ½ large red onion, cut lengthwise into thin strips
    1-½ cups chopped cauliflower
    1 cup chopped broccoli florets
    1-cup bite-size torn spinach
    ½ tsp curry
    ½ tsp turmeric
    ¼ tsp ground cumin
    ¼ mild chili pepper, finely sliced (or substitute ½ tsp dried chili flakes)
    1-cup chickpeas
    1-cup coconut milk
    1 tbsp limejuice
    ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

    Heat frying pan to medium-high. Add coconut oil, ginger, and garlic. Lightly stir-fry. Turn heat to medium-low. Add vegetables, curry, turmeric, cumin, chili pepper, chickpeas, and coconut milk. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add limejuice and cilantro. Serve with sprouted quinoa or buckwheat. Brown rice also works nicely.

    if plain steamed cauliflower doesn't appeal to you, try it with light cream cheese on top, or light parmesan cheese sprinkled on it. the cream cheese is my fave, and the parm is my bf's fave. :)

    Not sure if this has been suggested yet, but I used this recipe and mixed it with Broccoli too.

    The only difference is I sprayed it with Pam and skipped the oil. SUPER GOOD!

    I boil mine; roasting sounds good and so does that rice... I have tried the half potatoes half cauliflower mashed and it was good... you can also chop it small and add it to salads or add to stir fry or anything else your cooking like you would anything... So versatile!

    Also try allrecipese.com - you can search for recipes by ingredient... Good luck...

    I love my vegetables just as they are, raw and cooked, but I have started adding vinegar over some them. Only a little to add a nice flavor but it tastes great that way. There is also a recipe for a mustard sauce that was actually incredibly tasty.

    Mustard Sauce

    2 tbs of Red Wine Vinegar
    2 tsp of garlic powder or raw
    2 tbs of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    1 tsp of Mustard

    Mix together and spoon over vegetables. Approximately 60 calories per serving.

    My favorite way to eat it is roasted. It's also good in a stir fry.

    There is a chinese dish with caulifower that is so good. It uses pork and I dont eat meat, but have had the vegetarian version. Cauliflower chow yok. It has a fermented black bean gravy and green onions with a scrambled egg worked into the sauce. Might have to google the recipe as I know I could stir it up from scratch but don't know the exact recipe. Sure is yummy with rice though.

    I've even roasted it with Pam and it was really tasty- a bit of sea salt and fresh ground pepper!
