After the holidays I am really really ready for some more veggie dishes. Growing up I thought I did not like veggies. My Dad was a pastor at a small church and money was tight. My Mom had to feed us on a budget, so fresh veggies didn't happen often. Times have changed and I do not have a single canned vegetable in my house. I love fresh veggies and I have learned how to make them to please my palate. I love them al dente. Cooked just enough to bring out flavor, but still crunchy. I could eat this side dish all day every day. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

ReplyDeleteI really like this dish and I have some fresh cauliflower in the fridge waiting for me to do something with it. Nice. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI also love fresh veggies. I do admit that I buy frozen veggies and the occasional canned corn. This recipe for cauliflower is wonderful. I like the hint of dijon mustard. :) Hope 2012 has been great so far... have a great week! ~ Ramona
