If you’re anything like me or my husband, you’re probably thinking something like “Cauliflower? Meh.” And I wouldn’t blame you. However, please don’t let that stop you from trying this recipe. This stuff is so good I was seriously toying with the idea of titling this post something lame like “CaulifWOWer.”

I made this as a side but I’m tellin’ you what, the next time my husband is out of town I’m making this for dinner. Only this. It’s seriously so good it could easily stand alone ala famed comfort foods like mac and cheese or beans and rice.

Make. this. tonight.
