#71 Eat 5 vegetables I've never tried (1/5): Cauliflower

Yup--somehow I made it to 26 years of age without eating cauliflower.  My mom probably made it for me growing up, but I was the pickiest of picky eaters, and not many vegetables made it past my lips!

This vegetable was NOT what I expected.  It's hard!  Doesn't it look like a pillow of soft fluffiness?  Well it's not.  But it's super versatile.

I tried this vegetable 3 times, actually.  That should be worth bonus points, or something!
1. Cauliflower buns

My sister had me over and made us turkey burgers on cauliflower buns for a healthy Halloween dinner.  It tended to fall apart a little, but the flavor was nice!  I don't know if this is the recipe she used, but here is one: http://www.rippedrecipes.com/recipe/cauliflower-burger-buns-614.html

2. Cauliflower sauce

This was also at my sister's house (I LOVE that she tries new recipes, and especially healthy ones)!  We had this over spaghetti squash for a super healthy "pasta."  I...wasn't a super fan of the flavor this time.  But the others liked it!  Recipe here: http://pinchofyum.com/creamy-cauliflower-sauce

3. Garlic mashed cauliflower

This was my favorite version of cauliflower!  I had it instead of mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving.  I went a little heavy on the parmesan in the recipe, and it was great.  Recipe here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/george-stella/mock-garlic-mashed-potatoes-recipe/index.html
