Chop a head of cauliflower getting rid of some of the thicker stem parts. Boil until soft. Drain (be patient, it really holds water, shake it out a few times). Mash with a potato masher until roughly the consistency of mashed potatos. Put in an oven-proof casserole dish, sprinkle liberally with Cavendar's Greek seasoning, stir in two crumbled up slices of cheese (American works, I like colby-cheddar blend). Sprinkle again with Cavendar's and top with another crumbled up slice of cheese. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.

Wonderful side dish with most any meat. Good side dish for diabetics, people counting carbs, or who just like to sneak veggies to the kids. It's a  favorite at our house.

I've heard of that...  seems that it would be yummy.

We like baked Cauliflower also... 

Cook your cauliflower till done... in large chunks
Make a MED white sauce:

2 Tbsp of butter melted, add 2 Tbsp flower, stir together quickly to make a rue.
Add in 1 1/2 cups of milk and 1/2 tsp of dry mustard.
Stir to smooth, let cook till begins to thicken.  If too thick add tiny amount of milk.
Add 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese...

When cheese is melted, pour over the Cauliflower and bake for 15 minutes @ 350
till bubbly.  Sprinkle with paprika for some color to serve.

The trouble I have with vegetable recipes is that I like my veggies to taste like veggies, not like cheese or cream soup. The only toppings or seasonings that my veggies ever get is a little salt and maybe a little butter, unless they are in a casserole or stir fry dish.

That sounds really good but I try to low carb so no flour for me.

Never, I agree mostly. I like cheese and sauces that compliment rather than overwhelm. When I make my version sometimes I used smoked salt instead of the Cavendar's. Smoked salt is harder to find but the flavor is better.

Sometimes you just want something different than plain veggies with butter.  And sometimes a recipe like these or others will get a picky kid to eat a new veggie they might not touch other wise.  My kids will eat all manner of veggies...  with sauce or without, because I was willing to try things and help them acquire the taste for them.

On the other hand, my sister's kid won't eat a vegetable that is not CORN.  So, there you go.

I got my kids to eat the more "difficult" veggies by only putting them on the adults' plates. When they asked, "Why don't we get any of that?" I told them that usually only adults eat those, but if they wanted to try some I guess it'd be okay. You definitely can't overuse that one, though.

Dips can be helpful too. I wouldn't care for ranch dressing on my zucchini, but some kids seem to go for it.

We took a pretty relaxed approach to eating and it worked for our kids. We never made them clean their plates, but did insist that they try everything. Between meal snacks were tightly controlled when they were little. As long as they weren't sick, not finishing one meal would simply mean that they were hungrier for the next. Of course, what works for one family is an absolute disaster for another.
