Let's talk about how good cauliflower is for you. It is in the same family as broccoli and cabbage. It is loaded with vitamins and phytonutrients. It detoxifies your body, it fights against cancer, and fights unwanted inflammation.
Don't think that white = no nutrients. The reason it is white is because it doesn't get sun during growth, since leaves cover the head. This is a very good addition to you diet! Eat food that feed your body, not just fill your belly.
I think my son would love this I am totally going to try it ;0) what a great idea
ReplyDeleteMy two ate this easily...I think the cheese had a little something to do with that :) Simple and easy...my way when the pilot is gone.
DeleteAwesome! And easily veganized by subbing nutritional yeast for parmesan.
ReplyDeleteI have never cooked with nutritional yeast, so I can't say. But, if you think it could work then I am sure it would be just fine :)
DeleteDo you have a steamer basket? How do you steam the cauliflower? (I admit my lack of culinary skills!)
ReplyDeleteI think I have a steamer basket buried somewhere in the depths of my cabinets...
DeleteI usually just add about an inch of water into a pot, add the cauliflower, and then turn it on a med-high heat. I will mix the cauliflower every couple minutes so the ones on the bottom don't get too mushy.
