Cauliflower is the New Black.

That’s right: I said it. And it’s true. Cauliflower is turning up everywhere: pizza dough, pasta sauce, appetizer bites and the list goes on. It’s fun to experiment, there’s no doubt about that. But trying to find domestic bliss in the kitchen is often a challenge for me. I just don’t invest the time. So, when I find a recipe I like and can turn it into a healthier option, I can’t help but share it. And then I keep making it…. over and over… and over and over… until I am extremely sick of it.

Until then…
