Lately it seems to be physically impossible for me to stop adding cheese to everything I cook. I’m not sure what exactly is going on, but whatever it is my waistline wishes I would get over it already. Take a lovely, healthy, low fat vegetable like cauliflower and turn it into a luscious, creamy, over the top side dish? No problemo…
Trust me, this one is worth the calories…

I would like a big spoonful please. There’s something about hot cheese and winter that is just right. I’ll bet you won’t crave it as much as spring and then summer arrive.
I want some, Ms. RM !! It looks so pretty all browned up with the green bits.

Cheese is good for you especially with Terrific cauliflower! Yum! Always my pleasure to be here to say hi! Have a great week.
Hehe I have the same exact problem. Chocolate too for dessert. My waistline is no longer speaking to me 😛
For once I know this recipe, maybe slightly different, I love it it’s so yummy !
Great timing. I have company coming next week and this looks yummy and will be perfect. Thanks so much.
I printed this recipe before I even read it because that first picture looks SO good! I can’t wait to try it!
Thanks for sharing!
Yes, that rich food …!
Everything always tastes better with a hearty dose of cheese. At least you can say this dish is healthy because it has cauliflower in it, right? Plus, who doesn’t need a little extra calcium?
Looks delicious… and I’m usually not that much of a cauliflower fan!
Yummmmm. I’ve been putting cheese on a lot of my dishes, too. I can only think that my body is craving calcium and Vitamin D.
Can almost smell it through my screen they way you describe it♪
Yum. Looks fabulous. And is that a Le Cruset casserole dish I see? 🙂 xoxox
Carol,
It is! I love their stuff, it’s bullet proof….
As a fellow cheese addict, I say keep up the good work! Love the sound of this.
Oh my gosh! I LOVE both cauliflower and goat cheese. I bet this is scrumptious beyond belief!
Oh, THIS recipe. I will be trying it very soon.
Happy Easter!
That recipe looks so delicious, must print it off and give it a try.

There is nothing wrong with cheese. Yellow cheese, white cheese, hard cheese or soft cheese. Just a better way to drink your milk.
The more cheese the better!
I have *got* to quit looking at your blog before breakfast! This looks soooo good. Not sure how the other 2 might like it(they’re more interested in raw cauliflower, not that there’s anything wrong with that. 😉 ), but I’m sure that could make a pretty good meal for me, all on it’s own. Yum!

It is never wrong to add cheese to a dish! This one looks lovely and is making me hungry!
Wonderful pictures, beautiful, brilliant, especially the first !!
Oh, I have GOT to try this one! Everything tastes better with cheese, right? Since I can’t walk past the cheese counter at the grocery store without buying something, I may as well add it to something healthy!
Oh yum! Cauliflower AND cheese. Both C’s.
However, not caffeine!
This looks scrumptious!

Hi Jenny,
I’m sorry. We launched the new site and somehow the caffeine post got bumped off the first page!

Fantastic recipe. We have a local goat cheese dairy in my town and I found out you can go to Haystack Mountain Goat Dairy and get 3lb or 5lb buckets of goat cheese. Oh Heaven…. This is the first time to your blog. Great job!

Chef Connie,
I could probably really hurt myself with a 3 lb. bucket of goat cheese!
Thanks for dropping by,
