Cauliflower has never been on the top of my “favorite
vegetables” list. I just prefer my
veggies to be GREEN, thank you very much!
But ever since we discovered ROASTED CAULIFLOWER, I have had to
re-prioritize my vegetable preferences and cauliflower is sneaking its way up
near the top!!
My first experiment with roasted cauliflower was from a
recipe that claimed the little florets would “taste like popcorn and even kids
would love it!”. It was true, I loved it
(though technically not a kid). The
second recipe was one that had loads of zingy flavors in a Greek yogurt sauce
covering the head of cauliflower – oh man it was good! Then last night I did a much simpler, and
equally (perhaps more?) delicious version of a whole roasted cauliflower
(ingredients were olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and capers (also fresh
parsley, which we didn’t have so I skipped, cuz that’s how I roll).

The point is: give
cauliflower a try. Even if you have
previously found it to be bland, dull, and yucky. Try to roast it! Google – there are loads of roasted
cauliflower recipes. In fact, if you
have one you love please put a link in the comments section here so I can try
it.
Note: I was not
sure if the price for a head of cauliflower at Trader Joe’s, $2.49, was good or
not. So I drove RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET,
a one minute drive, to Safeway to compare.
Guess what? The Safeway price was
$3.99!!!! $1.50 more than Trader
Joe’s!
