Haters to Lovers 5 Best Cauliflower Recipes

5 Must Try Gluten Free Recipes to inspire a love affair with cauliflower - Happy Meatless Monday! Cauliflower is a seriously cool vegetable: related to broccoli, comes in different colors (when I was a child, there was a short time when I would only eat purple foods...yeah), can be steamed, boiled, baked, roasted, grilled, riced, mashed, pureed, fried, eaten raw -- and is meant for so much more than standing in for mashed potatoes or being covered in cheese sauce! Cauliflower is a naturally high fiber, low carb food, rich in folic acid (B9) and vitamin C, and pairs well with many different flavors and textures. Here are 5 of my favorite gluten free cauliflower recipes to turn you and yours into a cauliflower-loving family!
