Last week I was on Pinterest and saw a number of people pin this recipe. Up until a few years ago I HATED cauliflower, or at least I thought I did until I tried it again – and now I love it. I use it in stir fry, add it to veggie soups, but THIS recipe from a GREAT site called I breathe, I’m hungry looked amazing so I had to try it.
I did modify a little. I used skim milk instead of heavy cream and I used Hormel Brand turkey pepperoni and it still turned out fantastic!
