Easy Cheesy Cauliflower

Since I have become a Mom my out look on food has really changed.  I not only try to make sure that I expose my daughter to a large variety of food, but at the same time expand what I eat.  Having grown up in a meat and potatoes household with a low variety of vegetables I have often assumed that I didn't like a lot of them.  As I have grown up and expanded my culinary knowledge I have found out differently.  True there are still those that I do not care for, but I have also learned that just because I do not like a food one way, does not mean that there isn't another way that I would like it!  This is true for me with cauliflower and many other vegetable! Here is one recipe that helped me enjoy cauliflower a little more, and I even got my toddler to eat it too!

Easy Cheesy Cauliflower

1 head cauliflower

½ cup water

½ cup mayo

1 tbs. Dijon Mustard

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Remove core of cauliflower and cut into large pieces, place in a microwave safe dish, add water and cover.  Microwave on high for 10 minutes, drain water, and return to dish.

While cauliflower cooks, mix mayo and mustard. 

After you drain the cauliflower, spread the mayo mix over it and then sprinkle with the cheese.

Microwave on high 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Tip: To ensure that your cauliflower cooks evenly, place the larger piece toward the outside edges of the dish.

Grub's On!
