Pure Delicious Cauliflower Recipe

Pure Delicious Cauliflower Recipe is my favorite cauliflower dish. You won’t believe how much you are going to enjoy it and company always asks for the recipe.

Have you ever seen a cauliflower field.  First you see rows and rows of large low clumps of bluish green leaves and then as you get closer, peeking out of the center, is this big fat creamy white cauliflower looking perfect for the pot.  I can’t wait until I can get a garden going again.  We are on a road trip before we buy our new house so this year’s garden is being skipped.  One of the prerequisites of our home is to have garden space with great weather over a long summer.  Seriously!

Cauliflower is a vegetable that I love to grow and one recipe I make often is this Pure Delicious Cauliflower Recipe.  It is simple and takes very little of your time.  A few facts that brings it up to a 5 star recipe is that it tastes really really good – every person that I have served it to loves it – it reheats in seconds and tastes as good as it did on the first day.  Click on this Mexican Cauliflower recipe because it is another favorite that is very tasty.  See what you think!

One of the special ingredients that helps turn your cauliflower into a creamy side dish is dairy free cream cheese.  You can make your own or use your favorite store bought product.  I usually make my own but sometimes time is short so off to the store I go.  I will get that cream cheese recipe on the blog for you very soon.  It is so versatile and it can be used in numerous recipes.

Seven ingredients and less than a half hour you have one of the best sides out there.  Feel proud of your healthy dish.  Isn’t it great to have a delicious, new, clean eating vegetable recipe to serve your family?
