Think cauliflower is boring? It doesn’t have to be! Here are 10 Healthy Cauliflower Recipes you must try!

Hi Friends!

This week, we found the first food Squish doesn’t love – cauliflower. Up until this point, we hadn’t really come across anything that he seemed to dislike in the slightest. Earlier this week he was eating steak and steamed veggies with his daddy and he legit spit out a piece of steamed cauliflower I gave him.

So there’s that.

I honestly can’t say I blame him though. I don’t like cauliflower either. Hubby and I got to talking about whether anyone out there actually really likes just plain old steamed cauliflower? I did mention, though, that cauliflower is all the rage right now. I’ve been pinning like crazy to our cauliflower awesomeness pinterest board for Healthy Aperture and it’s clear that there are a lot of people out there that love cauliflower…maybe just not plain and steamed.

So I rounded up 10 cauliflower recipes that are not only healthy, but also left me pretty much drooling onto my computer screen. Maybe Squish will like one of these?

Which should I make first?!

    I don’t like cauliflower either but I’ve recently discovered I love it raw in a salad and also roasted with spices! My 1 year old loves it too but unfortunately I can’t get my 3 year old to put it anywhere near her mouth!
