yummy baked cauliflower
Just wanted to share. I made this today, loved it. Modified from a recipe I found online. I think it would be good with broccoli too. I will try that next time.

Sounds delicious! My hubby is a huge fan of cauliflower so we'll have to try this. Did you put it in MFP to figure out the carb breakdown on it?
