I have always liked it, but never would I have thought that the words *cauliflower* and *crave* would be used in the same sentence. But now, I crave it, and it shows up on the grocery list every week. Here's how … Continue reading Sautéed Cauliflower: Our Unexpected Crave
When I find something great, I can't wait to pass it on! We have a new favorite meal at our house that I have been wanting to share with you for several weeks.
