I don’t know about you, but I have the hardest time coming up with different side dish ideas. We tend to eat the same ones over and over. Green beans, peas, and corn get more than their fair share at our dinner table.

Cauliflower is something I hardly ever think to cook. Some people love cauliflower, others hate it.

But I don’t think there’s any denying that cauliflower and cheese were meant for each other.

I mean, just look at how perfect those cauliflower florets look bathed in cheese sauce.

Cauliflower is a great vegetable choice in the fall when it is in season, but to be honest, the quality of the cauliflower at my local market seems to be pretty consistent year round. That makes cauliflower a great choice anytime of year!
