Try Tony's yummy cauliflower! 

Baked cauliflower is extremely tasty and a great way to get kids (or other non-cauliflower lovers) to eat this healthy vegetable. These are two recipes we use, the first one was given to us by our friend Tony and the other one is an adaption I made when I wanted to try using a whole head. They are both really, really good and are a perfect side dish during the Holidays.
