Karen, this looks good. I love roasted asparagus too. Here's my favorite cauliflower recipe....

it's from the red and white checked cookbook of old.

Cheese-frosted Cauliflower

Par cook a whole head of cauliflower (leaves removed) in boiling water. Be careful not to overcook, cauliflower gets mushy when overcooked.

When the cauliflower is done, remove it from the boiling water and place on an dish that's ok to put in the oven.

In the meantime, stir together some mayonnaise and just a tad of plain yellow mustard. You don't want too much color in your sauce.

Spread it over the cooked cauliflower. Grate some cheddar cheese and 'paste' all over the cauliflower and sauce.

Place in oven just long enough to melt the cheese and barely brown.

You mean like French's yellow hot dog mustard?!

 

[marsha-tbay]

Yes, I've tried all the other mustards! None work like the orig. called for.

Roast the cauliflower instead of boiling.Bet it would be even better.

Yes Marsha, I use that recipe also and it is delicious. I add the mustard >>>

until it is pale yellow. Yum! And I steam it. I don't think the roasting would be right for this.

 

[marsha-tbay]

Oh, for sure, YUM is the right word and roasting is not right for this one!
