My husband is a big cauliflower lover. Seriously, he can’t get enough of the stuff. He’ll eat it raw or cooked. Since we eat a lot of new dishes around here (hello, I’m a food blogger!) I’m always trying out new cauliflower dishes. This one in particular is a family favorite. It is creamy and zesty and cheesey and cauli-riffic! Even though I say this recipe serves 4 to 6, I will admit that my husband and I ate the entire thing ourselves. He ate 2/3rds and I ate the rest. I told you he loves cauliflower! But for normal people? 4 to 6.
