I tried cauliflower for the first time tonight.
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that a goal I had set for myself was to try at least two new vegetables before the end of February. Since there are only two weeks left in February, I figured I should get on that. 🙂 Truth be told, I have had a bag of frozen cauliflower in my freezer for well over a week, but I have been too chicken to use it. I decided that tonight was the night!
I used this recipe from Kylie at Hungry Spoon. I knew when I saw this recipe that it would be the perfect way to introduce the vegetable.
The verdict? They weren’t half bad! For the most part, I couldn’t even tell that it was cauliflower. The mixture was a little too soft which made it hard to form into patties. But after baking for about 20 minutes, they did harden up a bit. Of course I topped them with ketchup because ketchup makes everything better. 🙂
I served the dijon cauliflower patties with chicken breast stuffed with spinach and cheese. Yummy!
And as you can see in the background, I also had some corn to go along with it. It was a tasty meal and I am glad I finally had the courage to try the cauliflower.

Yeah for trying cauliflower!!! 🙂
How did you get the cheese and spinach inside the chicken breasts?
I love cauliflower. It’s great with a little olive oil and then roasted at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. YUM!
I love cauliflower! That recipe looks so good. I’ll definitely try it!
I’m not a big cauliflower person, but when it’s boiled it’s pretty good! Plus, anything + ketchup is delish!
cauliflower is pretty bland, I don’t really mind it!
I love cauliflower, but never buy it. Those cauliflower patties are such a good idea! 🙂
Yay on trying cauliflower. It’s always good to step out of your comfort zone when it comes to food.
I’ve been trying to introduce formerly despised foods into my diet, and I could never get over cauliflower
I’m glad you had a good experience with it!
wow, I wouldn’t have recognized it to be cauliflower! The older I get the more adventerous I am with food! 🙂
I love cauliflower! I think its highly underrated 🙂
Nice goal, and great pick going for cauliflower. LOVE it. Try this with fresh cauliflower next time and you’ll notice a more firm texture. Steam it 🙂
Oh I love cauliflower – it makes for a fantastic sub for smashed potatoes too!
Yum! That stuffed chicken looks so delish. I haven’t made something like that before but now I really want to give it a try. Great job, girl!
Ketchup does make everything better! I put it on just about everything.
That cauliflower recipe sounds interesting, I may have to give that a go one night to mix it up a bit!
