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!
Oh, and don't forget to check out my recipe for Cumin Roasted Cauliflower!
General Tso's Cauliflower
	Cauliflower florets are tossed in cornstarch, fried and served in a spicy sweet 'n sour sauce that will have you swearing off takeout for good! For this recipe, you can use 100% cornstarch (or cornstarch and rice flour) instead of AP flour & corn starch to fry. For the sauce, be sure to use gluten free tamari for the soy sauce element. Dairy free / vegan.

	Sounds interesting right? It's amazingly tasty and 100% dairy free/vegan.
