A rich, cheesy, satisfying meal that leaves you feeling light and healthier for it. It tastes bright, warming, and mouth-watering. It’s surprisingly healthy, which I think is the Holy Grail for all dishes – it tastes super decadent, but is very low-fat, gluten-free, and oil-free.
Cauliflower is a descendant of wild cabbage, believed to have originated in ancient Asia Minor in the northeastern part of the Mediterranean. It became commercially available in America in the 1920s.
Basically, cauliflower is a super food! Cauliflower is a rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin K, folate, choline, dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, manganese, phosphorus, and biotin. It fights inflammation and cancer and benefits the bones, heart, brain, and digestive system. I could go on.
So add this meal to your guilt-free comfort food repertoire, and you’re welcome!
