No one in my house will eat cauliflower in any form that I have presented so far, and the fact that this particular cauliflower is yellow is not helping its chances.

So, tonight I am going to try making a soup.  A cheesy one.  This is the cauliflower's only chance, and it is a slim one at best.

I am going to try the chicken stock variation someone suggested for this recipe.

Wish me, and the cauliflower, luck!

I love the colored cauliflowers-do you eat it? My friend made a soup which she pureed-it was very yummy-maybe you could do that?

My family is the same way. I'm the only one who will eat it. So, I made a cauiflower and ham chowder. It has a chicken stock base and and you puree most of it. They all thought they were eating potato soup. I thought it was better than potato soup. Absolutely FABULOUS!

Sounds yummy! Try cauli-rice. Pulse cauliflower in a food processor until the size of rice grain and saute in olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste. My son, the vegetable hater, eats this - and allrecipe.com's Baked Kale Chips.

Sounds good. Some comments say to leave out the potatoes which I think would be a mistake. I always add a little cubed ham to soups like that, really improves the flavor. I also think it distracts my husband from all those veggies!

I absolutely LOVE HamaCauli soup as my friends mother calls it. Saute cubed ham and onion while cauliflower steams. Add chicken broth to ham and onions and heat to just warm. Puree with a little chicken broth to preferred consistency and add back to the pot with ham and onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste!

About Me 
I am an over-committed working Mom with two very active kids and an equally over-commmitted hubby. I am interested in eating "in" more, eating more healthy foods, and growing our own foods as a family that is in a hurry all the time.
My favorite things to cook
I recently joined a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) to encourage myself to cook new things, and to get my whole family to eat new things. The fact that the food is organic, and I got them to add my place of employment as the drop off spot, is a bonus. I really enjoy the challenge of figuring out what to do with the new leafy green thing that showed up this week! I had to start a blog here (called What's In The Box) to help myself to remember what I do with the stuff.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love baking with my kids at the holidays. However, I am not a great baker. I can do pies and cakes. I am not so good at pastries or even cookies. I think this has to do with my impatient nature.
My cooking triumphs
My baking is improving steadily and my cake decorating is becoming a passion. Even my eight-year old son now likes this, thanks to the TV program "Ace of Cakes" where they make Star Wars and Army helicopter cakes.
My cooking tragedies
Too much experimentation and short-cutting has led to too many unhappy endings to list here!
