…In Sienna’s words (my 4 year old) “YUM<\/em>!”.<\/p>\n …In Naomi’s words (my 2 year old), complete silence as she rammed piece after piece in her mouth.<\/p>\n …And 15 minutes after sitting at the table, this is what we had left of it tonight.<\/p>\n So yeah, this recipe was OK.\u00a0 (wink wink)<\/p>\n We eat a lot of cauliflower as evidenced by the recipes on my website like this Dairy-Free Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole<\/a> and this Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0But every once in a while I get the urge to get creative in the kitchen.\u00a0 \u00a0Because like our kids, I’m a little fickle and get bored of our usual go-to recipes.<\/p>\n Even if your child, or partner, or you dislike a food – preparing it in different ways makes it a different food altogether!\u00a0 Alter the taste, the texture, the smell, and you may all find a new favourite in an ‘old’ food.\u00a0 For me, I could take or leave steamed or raw cauliflower (or broccoli).\u00a0 Yet once we add some spices and bake it, a whole new side of cauliflower comes alive!<\/p>\n It’s Friday night, and we just returned from Mexico.\u00a0 Coming back to minus degree weather, I needed some food for comfort.\u00a0 Something really<\/span> yummy.\u00a0 Something so good it almost tasted ‘bad’ for us.<\/p>\n Our protein dish was already lined up (good ol’ turmeric and lemon wild salmon), but it needed a veggie side.\u00a0 I didn’t have the gusto to prepare more than one side so it had to be stellar.<\/p>\n We had a cauliflower the size of my head taking up too much room in the fridge, so that was my first inspiration.\u00a0 Then\u00a0this recipe<\/a> appeared and I got giddy. And experimental.<\/p>\n I rarely (virtually never) fry things.\u00a0 Even saying the “f” word makes me feel uncomfortable.\u00a0 Don’t panic!\u00a0 This recipe requires more of a saut\u00e9 versus a deep fry.\u00a0 You can also bake in the oven, although may not get the same texture.<\/p>\n It’s crispy.<\/p>\n It’s simple to prepare.<\/p>\n It’s family-friendly<\/a> (and picky eater friendly<\/a>).<\/p>\n It fulfills cravings for fried food without the downsides.<\/p>\n It’s cost-effective (just cauliflower and spices).<\/p>\n It has a nutrient-rich veggie as its base (cauliflower is high in Vitamin C and other micronutrients).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Without further adieu, let’s get you that recipe!<\/p>\n![\"Best](\"http:\/\/www.daniellebinns.com\/stagingsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_0094-1024x768.jpg\")
