How to get your kids to eat cauliflower!

Cover it in Cheese!
Hope you're sitting down, Thomas ate cauliflower...And he liked it! Seriously, the worlds fussiest eater ate cauliflower!

Wow, that was a moment tonight. I love when he tries new foods, even though the lead up is painstaking. The fussing, the refusing, the gross sounds and faces. Only for him to finally give in and take a bite, chew chew chew..."mmm, I love cauliflower!" really, was it that hard? Oh Thomas!

Cauliflower bake
• 1 cauliflower head separated
• 1 1/2 heavy whipping cream
• 1 large onion finely chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic minced
• 1 cup of grated cheese
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 Tbsp olive oil or butter
• salt/pepper to taste

Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil or butter. Boil cauliflower head in salted water. Once soft place in baking dish with onion and garlic. Stir. Cover with cheese, poor over cream, cover with breadcrumbs and season.
Place in oven for 15mins on 350, finishing with a high broil for 5 mins.

Enjoy! I served it up with a steak and steamed green beans...yum! Even a 5yr old will eat it!!
