While cauliflower is not a vegetable
most people eat, I like it, cooked or fresh. But I admit, my family doesn’t eat
as much as we probably should. Especially when you learn about the health benefits
of cauliflower (find out about some of them HERE.) So, I went
looking for a recipe in the cookbooks in my “Calling
All Cooks,” basket for Brenda Novak 2013 Annual
Auction for the Cure of Diabetes. (Brenda’s annual auction runs May 1-31. So far, there are over 750 items up for
auction, with more to come.)

I always love finding new ways of cooking cauliflower, so thanks for this recipe, Anna which I intend to try soon.
Cauliflower is incredibly versatile and also very underrated. It's nutritional, being a great source of essential B vitamins such as folic acid, riboflavin and thiamine - essential aids to the nervous system - as well as the metabolism of carbohydrate, fat and protein. Being low in saturated fat,it's good for the cholesterol. It can help the immune system's battle against certain cancers and diseases like cystic fibrosis and contains the trace mineral boron, which helps create healthy bones.
As you may have guessed, I'm a cauliflower addict and I use it all the time. Hope you and your family enjoy it more often too.

I have made and like cauliflower mash, which tastes a lot like mashed potatoes. And as you say, they are a great health benefit.
